What Does DWC Stand For?

DWC stands for Deasphalted Whole Crude

DWC, or Deasphalted Whole Crude, refers to a refined hydrocarbon feedstock derived from the deasphalting process of crude oil. This process selectively removes heavy components, such as asphaltenes, while preserving lighter fractions, making DWC suitable for further processing in refineries. It serves as an important intermediary product in petrochemical production, enabling the efficient extraction of high-value hydrocarbons while improving overall yield and product quality.
