Light Cycle Oil (LCO) is a secondary liquid product derived from the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process in refineries. This process breaks down larger hydrocarbon molecules from heavy gas oils into smaller, more valuable products like gasoline and diesel. LCO typically sits between diesel and heavy gas oil in terms of boiling range and weight.
Primary Characteristics:
Appearance: Typically amber to dark brown liquid.
Odor: Characteristic petroleum smell.
Density: Intermediate, falling between lighter distillates and heavier oils.
Sulfur Content: Can vary based on the feedstock and refining process, but often higher than diesel and gasoline.
Applications:
Blending Component: Frequently blended into diesel fuel to enhance volume, though this requires treating to meet emissions standards.
Feedstock: Used in hydrocracking and other refining processes to produce more valuable products, such as gasoline or diesel.
Industrial Burning: Some industries utilize LCO as a combustion fuel, though this is less common due to its higher sulfur content and potential emissions.
Advantages:
Versatility: Can be further processed or blended to meet various fuel product needs.
Economic Value: Provides an additional stream of revenue from the FCC process, maximizing the yield of a refinery.
Feedstock Potential: Offers refineries another option for producing lighter, more desirable products.

We supply Light Cycle OIl (LCO) Origin: Kazakhstan First Lift: 50,000 Metric Tonnes Contract: up to 100,000 MT/month x 12 months CIF Price: USD $270/MT LCO, a by-product of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process in a petroleum refinery, can be used as a blendstock for the production of diesel and jet fuels. Light Cycle Oil (LCO) is the diesel boiling range material, which is produced in addition to gas and petrol in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU). The optimised partial conversion hydrocracking process provides an effective and flexible process to process LCO into desired products such as very-low sulphur diesel and high-octane high-aromatics naphtha.
Light Cycle Oil, also known as LCO, is a refined product derived from the processing of crude oil. It has a higher density and boiling point range compared to diesel fuel but lower than heavy fuel oil. LCO is commonly used as a feedstock for fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU) and is also used as a blend component for marine fuels.
