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.
Light Cycle Oil (LCO) is a diesel boiling range product from Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCUs). FCCU is responsible for the production of petrol, LPG and Light Cycle Oil (LCO).
There are various ways of economically upgrading LCO, which include hydrotreating, high pressure hydrocracking for full conversion of LCO into Naphtha and a more optimized partial conversion hydrocracking process.
It can be used in susch industries as Agrochemical, Crude Oil, Petrochemicals, Petroleum Products.
Light Cycle Oil LCO is a diesel boiling range product from fluid catalytic cracking units flexible process to process LCO into desired products such as verylow sulphur diesel and high octane higharomatics naphtha It is a light lubricating oil that is suitable for use on bicycles and similar equipment
It is a diesel boiling range product from fluid catalytic cracking units Light cycle oil is a poor diesel fuel blending component LCO are produced at the bottom of the fluidized catalytic cracking FCC process in a refinery and are enriched with 5080 wt heterocyclic aromatic compounds 3 wt S and 600 ppm N
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.
Light Cycle Oil (LCO) is a diesel boiling range product from Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCUs). However, LCO is a poor diesel fuel blending component without further processing. Oil refining is an industrial process which involves separation, conversion and finishing. FCC centered refinery uses Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) has the major conversion unit. FCCU is responsible for the production of petrol, LPG and Light Cycle Oil (LCO).
Diesel is the most important fuel used in automobiles because of its high efficiency. The global demand for diesel is increasing than petrol but many older refineries have optimized their plant for producing more petrol than diesel. Light Cycle Oil is the diesel boiling range material, which is produced in addition to gas and petrol in the FCCU. LCO is treated in the diesel hydrotreater (DHT) unit to produce low sulphur environment friendly diesel.
Production of LCO is increased in the FCCU by employing medium conversion mode rather than using traditional low conversion mode. Low conversion mode will cause a loss of gas production, deteriorate petrol octane rating and also increase the production of low valued slurry oil. With medium conversion technique both gas quality and quantity is maintained and improves the petrol octane rating. Medium conversion mode also reduces the amount of low valued slurry oil. Slurry oil contains LCO boiling range material in it; hence a separate slurry oil stripping tower is employed to recover the LCO from slurry oil.
