Why Norway needs filter aid
Norway's economy is led by North Sea oil and gas, aquaculture and shipping.
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 Norway
Offshore operators and yards buy certified pipe, valves and gaskets.
In Norway, 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
Edible oil milling & refining in Norway
Norway crushes and refines oilseeds for its domestic market. Refineries need activated bleaching clay and filter aid on a predictable schedule; mills need conveyors and bearings; packers need barrels and PET preforms.
In Norway, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy filter aid from us mainly for biodiesel and wax and paraffin purification.
