Why Finland needs filter aid
Finland has large forest-industry, engineering, mining and refining sectors.
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.
Oil, gas & petrochemicals in Finland
The Porvoo refinery needs pipe and valves.
In Finland, upstream oil & gas and refineries 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: Upstream oil & gas · Refineries · Petrochemical plants · Fuel depots
