Why Bahrain needs filter aid
Bahrain has a compact but industrial economy: the Bapco refinery, one of the world's largest aluminium smelters, ship repair and a busy services sector. Khalifa Bin Salman Port at Hidd handles container traffic.
Bleaching earth is consumed in every batch of refined edible oil, at roughly 0.5–2% of oil weight, so refineries order it on a fixed schedule.
