Why Eritrea needs activated bleaching clay

Eritrea is a small Red Sea economy with mining (gold, copper, zinc, potash) and ports at Massawa and Assab.

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 Eritrea

Edible-oil refineries in Eritrea depend on bleaching earth, filter aid, caustic soda and citric acid for every batch, plus conveyors to move seed and meal. We supply the consumables, handling equipment and packaging from one source.

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