The article analyzes the effect of i ndustrial hydrotreating catalysts of Co–Mo/Al2O3 and Ni–Mo/Al2O3 types on hydrodesulfurization efficiency, liquid fraction yield, and the optimal temperature range during the hydrotreating of cracking distillates. Cracking distillates, particularly light cycle oil obtained from the fluid catalytic cracking process, are characterized by high aromaticity and elevated contents of sulfur- and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. In deep hydrotreating of such feedstocks, the catalyst active sulfide phase, hydrogen pressure, temperature, liquid hourly space velocity, and H2/feed ratio play a decisive role. The analysis shows that increasing the temperature from 280 °C to 400 °C raises the hydrodesulfurization level from 45.2 % to 99.5 %, while the liquid fraction yield decreases from 98.5 % to 91.2 %. Since evaluating the process solely based on hydrodesulfurization is insufficient, a technological efficiency coefficient expressed as Keff=ηS×Yliq/100 is proposed. The calculations indicate that the temperature range of 360–370 °C is optimal in terms of achieving high hydrodesulfurization, maintaining liquid fraction yield, and limiting hydrocracking reactions.
