Abstract

The use of essential oils as raw material in formulation of by-products allows the revitalization of industries and regional economic growth. This is the reason why in this work it is described the process to design an extraction system of essential oil from subtle lemon. Main parameters required for the extraction have been considered as well as, the calculation of the obtained yield. Within the system design, distillation tank measurements, condenser, essential oils separator, mechanical part of the equipment, boiler selection and the distribution of the plant are dimensioned. The procedure manuals and equipment operating manuals were prepared for each step of the process of using this oil.
