Why Saudi Arabia needs filter aid

Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Gulf. Vision 2030 giga-projects, Aramco and SABIC operations, and fast-growing manufacturing, water and food industries make it one of the largest import markets for industrial and building products in the Middle East.

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.

In Saudi Arabia, 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.
