Do you know what light cycle oil is? In order for light cycle oil to fully exert its effect, it is necessary to have a detailed understanding of it. At present, many people do not know much about what light cycle oil is used for. The following article will answer it for everyone. I hope this article can clear up your doubts about light cycle oil.
Light cycle oil is a kind of light oil, which comes from the catalytic cracking unit. It is an intermediate circulation material in crude oil production and can be used as fuel oil for large machinery, mines, ships, etc. It is currently used in my country The domestic ship fuel market plays a decisive role; light cycle oil is a type of diesel base oil, which can be processed into diesel through hydrodesulfurization and other processes and used to blend diesel. With the continuous optimization of the processing technology of blending oil manufacturers, light cycle oil has been blended in the Southeast Asian origin. After importing, it can be directly used by maritime ships. Compared with diesel oil, the indicators are slightly higher: sulfur content, density and carbon residue. , the cetane number is relatively small, and the total aromatic hydrocarbon content exceeds 50. It can be directly used in the main and auxiliary engines of high-power fishing boats and cargo ships, and can be used to blend No. 0 ordinary diesel.
Our country’s government does not allow the import of refined oil, but diesel base materials with an aromatic hydrocarbon content of more than 50 are allowed to be imported in the name of light cycle oil without paying consumption tax. At present, my country's light cycle oil import source countries mainly include South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, the Netherlands and Singapore. Especially for ASEAN countries, according to the "China-ASEAN Free Trade Area" preferential trade agreement, light cycle oil produced in ASEAN member countries enjoys a "zero tariff" preferential tax rate when imported into China.
According to the current situation of domestic development, my country's demand for light cycle oil is still relatively large, but the quality of the products provided by domestic light cycle oil suppliers is still uneven.
