Why Malaysia needs filter aid
Malaysia is a major palm-oil producer, an electronics manufacturing hub and a significant oil and gas producer, with Port Klang and Tanjung Pelepas among Asia's busiest 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.
