Quick answer
Who supplies activated bleaching clay in Suez, Egypt?
Hurain Engitech & Trade (Palanpur, Gujarat, India) is a activated bleaching clay manufacturer, supplier and exporter serving Suez. Orders ship FCL or LCL to Sokhna in about 14–22 days, then 1 day by road inland, quoted FOB, CFR or CIF. Highly acid-activated clay for difficult oils such as palm and rice bran, at low dosage.
Why Suez needs activated bleaching clay
Refineries and fertiliser plants at the southern end of the canal. 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.
Egypt is Africa's most populous Arab country and a major manufacturing and construction market, with the New Administrative Capital, the Suez Canal Economic Zone and large industrial cities around Cairo. Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta and Sokhna are the main ports.
