Why Mozambique needs filter aid
Mozambique is developing large LNG projects in Cabo Delgado, coal mining in Tete and port corridors at Maputo, Beira and Nacala that serve its landlocked neighbours.
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 Mozambique
The LNG projects in Cabo Delgado need piping, valves and site equipment.
In Mozambique, 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.
