Why Al Zour needs activated bleaching clay
Site of the Al Zour refinery, one of the largest in the Middle East, and a major power and water plant. 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.
Kuwait's economy is driven by oil production and refining around Ahmadi, Shuaiba and Al Zour, and by state spending on housing, utilities and infrastructure. Shuwaikh and Shuaiba ports handle most imports.
