Why Venezuela needs filter aid

Venezuela holds the world's largest oil reserves and a large but under-maintained industrial base in Valencia, Maracaibo and Ciudad Guayana.

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.
