Light Cycle Oil (LCO) is a valuable middle distillate fuel, a byproduct of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process in oil refineries. Characterized by its high density and high aromatic content, LCO is a versatile feedstock used primarily for blending to produce a variety of end products. After further processing, it is used to create ultra-low sulfur diesel, industrial heating fuels, and marine gas oil, and it can also serve as a key feedstock for the petrochemical industry.
