Why Ukraine needs filter aid
Ukraine is a major grain and sunflower-oil producer with heavy industry and a large reconstruction need; logistics run through Odesa and EU land borders.
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 Ukraine
Ukraine is among the world's largest sunflower-oil producers.
In Ukraine, 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 Ukraine
Oil and gas operations in Ukraine run on pressure-rated pipe, valves, flanges and gaskets that must be traceable to a mill certificate. Shutdown and turnaround work creates sudden demand for large mixed lists — exactly the orders we consolidate into one shipment.
In Ukraine, upstream oil & gas and refineries buy filter aid from us mainly for biodiesel and wax and paraffin purification.
