Why Guyana needs filter aid
Guyana is the world's fastest-growing economy thanks to offshore oil, with rapid infrastructure and housing investment around Georgetown.
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.
