Why Singapore needs filter aid
Singapore is a global trading, refining and advanced-manufacturing hub. Jurong Island is one of the world's largest petrochemical clusters, and PSA is among the busiest ports anywhere.
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.
