Why Suez needs filter aid
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.
