Why Guinea needs bleaching earth
Guinea holds the world's largest bauxite reserves and is developing the Simandou iron-ore project, with Conakry and Kamsar as its main ports.
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 Guinea
Guinea crushes and refines oilseeds for its domestic market. Refineries need activated bleaching clay and filter aid on a predictable schedule; mills need conveyors and bearings; packers need barrels and PET preforms.
In Guinea, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy bleaching earth from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
