Abstract: The comparisons of the processing results of LCO hydrofining, hydrocracking of VGO mixed with LCO, hydrotreating VGO mixed with LCO and LTAG in SINOPEC Wuhan Company were introduced. The results show that LCO hydrofining can only achieve desulfurization, and the hydrocracking of VGO blended with LCO is favorable for the production of petrochemicals and the improvement of diesel cetane number, while LTAG process can produce much more gasoline than that of the hydrotreating VGO mixed with LCO process and is the most economical processing route, but needs severer hydrotreating operation. It is recognized that the LTAG process combined with optimal LCO hydrotreating process is the primary economical choice for LCO processing in Wuhan Company.

Key words: LCO, LTAG, hydrotreating of VGO blended with LCO, hydrocracking of VGO blended with LCO
