Why Benin needs filter aid

Benin is a West African trading hub whose port of Cotonou supplies Niger and Nigeria, with cotton as the main export.

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.

Edible oil milling & refining in Benin

Edible-oil refineries in Benin depend on bleaching earth, filter aid, caustic soda and citric acid for every batch. We supply the consumables, handling equipment and packaging from one source.

In Benin, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy filter aid from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.

Who buys filter aid: Oilseed crushing mills · Solvent extraction plants · Edible oil refineries · Oil packers

Benin's hydrocarbon sector needs a steady supply of alloy and carbon steel piping, API-standard valves and spiral-wound gaskets. Plant maintenance teams value a supplier who ships the whole line list with EN 10204 3.1 documentation in one container.

In Benin, upstream oil & gas and refineries buy filter aid from us mainly for biodiesel and wax and paraffin purification.
