Why Iran needs bleaching earth
Iran has one of the Middle East's largest industrial bases, with oil, gas and petrochemicals in the south, and steel, cement, vehicle and pharmaceutical industries around Tehran, Isfahan and Tabriz. Bandar Abbas is the main port.
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.
