Why Spain needs bleaching earth
Spain combines large agri-food and olive-oil industries, a strong automotive sector, chemical clusters at Tarragona and Huelva, and major ports at Valencia, Algeciras and Barcelona.
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 Spain
Spain is the world's largest olive-oil producer, with many mills and refiners.
In Spain, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy bleaching earth from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
Who buys bleaching earth: Oilseed crushing mills · Solvent extraction plants · Edible oil refineries · Oil packers
Oil, gas & petrochemicals in Spain
Oil and gas operations in Spain run on pressure-rated pipe, valves, flanges and gaskets that must be traceable to a mill certificate. Shutdown and turnaround work creates sudden demand for large mixed lists — exactly the orders we consolidate into one shipment.
In Spain, upstream oil & gas and refineries buy bleaching earth from us mainly for biodiesel and wax and paraffin purification.
