Why Myanmar needs filter aid
Myanmar has a large farming economy, oilseed milling, garment factories and gas fields, with Yangon and Thilawa as its gateways.
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 Myanmar
Groundnut and sesame oil mills around Mandalay and Magway use spare parts and packaging.
In Myanmar, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants 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: Oilseed crushing mills · Solvent extraction plants · Edible oil refineries · Oil packers
