Why Tanzania needs filter aid

Tanzania combines a large farming sector with gold and gemstone mining, a growing manufacturing base in Dar es Salaam and major rail and power projects. Dar es Salaam port also serves Zambia, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC.

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 Tanzania

The central corridor around Singida and Dodoma is a sunflower heartland with many small and medium oil mills that need spare parts, bleaching earth and refining supplies.

In Tanzania, 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

Oil, gas & petrochemicals in Tanzania

Tanzania's hydrocarbon sector needs a steady supply of alloy and carbon steel piping, API-standard valves and spiral-wound gaskets. Plant maintenance teams value a supplier who ships the whole line list with EN 10204 3.1 documentation in one container.

In Tanzania, upstream oil & gas and refineries buy filter aid from us mainly for biodiesel and wax and paraffin purification.

Who buys filter aid: Upstream oil & gas · Refineries · Petrochemical plants · Fuel depots

Chemicals, fertilisers & petrochemicals in Tanzania

Chemical and fertiliser plants in Tanzania handle corrosive media, so they buy stainless and alloy piping, PTFE and graphite seals and lined valves, and ship finished product in HDPE drums and barrels.

In Tanzania, petrochemical complexes and fertiliser plants buy filter aid from us mainly for juice, beer and sugar filtration and edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran).

Who buys filter aid: Petrochemical complexes · Fertiliser plants · Speciality chemical makers · Chemical distributors

Typical uses: Edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) · Mineral and lubricant oil re-refining · Biodiesel · Wax and paraffin purification · Juice, beer and sugar filtration.

What is bleaching earth used for?

Bleaching earth is an activated clay used in edible oil and mineral oil refining to adsorb colour pigments, soaps, gums and trace metals, producing clear, light-coloured, stable oil.

How much bleaching earth is needed per tonne of oil?

Dosage typically ranges from about 0.5% to 3% of oil weight depending on the oil type, its crude colour and the activity of the clay. Our technical team can suggest a starting dosage from your oil data.
