LCO is characterized by its high aromatic content and energy density, making it suitable for diesel fuel blending or direct use as heating fuel. With an energy-rich composition, LCO is ideal for industries requiring heavy-duty performance fuels, such as marine vessels, industrial plants, and refineries. It also serves as a raw material for secondary refining processes to produce ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
LCO is available under FOB or CIF terms, providing flexibility for international buyers. To ensure compliance with environmental standards, refineries often treat LCO to reduce sulfur content for specific uses.
