Why Algeria needs filter aid
Algeria is Africa's largest country and a major oil and gas producer, with Sonatrach operating fields around Hassi Messaoud and processing complexes at Arzew and Skikda. The state also funds large housing and cement programmes.
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.
