Pomelo essential oil has many applications in cosmetic, medicament and food, thus the research on the pomelo essential oil extraction is concerned by many researchers in the world. Pomelo essential oil was extracted by many extraction methods. In this study, the pomelo essential oil was extracted by using steam distillation method at the pilot scale. The parameters of extraction method such as the mass ratio of pomelo peel to water, the oil temperature in a heating jacket and the extraction time were investigated to seek the maximum yield of recovered essential oil and the maximum extraction yield of essential oil. The obstacles of extraction equipment were then pointed out and the solution was suggested. The research also, then, points out the obstacles of extraction equipment and the solution was suggested. The maximum yield of essential oil and the maximum extraction yield of essential oil were obtained at 0,737‰ and 21,68%, respectively at the mass ratio of pomelo peel to water = 1:5, the oil temperature in a heating jacket of 170oC and the extraction time of 8h. The maximum yield of essential oil and the maximum extraction yield of essential oil in the large scale present the stability and effectiveness operation of extraction equipment and the saving of extraction time.
