Quick answer
Who is a reliable bleaching earth supplier and exporter for Syria?
Hurain Engitech & Trade, based in Palanpur, Gujarat, manufactures, wholesales and exports bleaching earth to buyers in Syria, including Homs, Tartus, Damascus. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF Latakia with about 7–15 days sea transit and full export documents.
Why Syria needs bleaching earth
Syria's economy is focused on reconstruction, with demand for building materials, power equipment and industrial spares around Damascus, Aleppo and Homs. Latakia and Tartus are the 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 Syria
Edible-oil refineries in Syria depend on bleaching earth, filter aid, caustic soda and citric acid for every batch, plus conveyors to move seed and meal. We supply the consumables, handling equipment and packaging from one source.
In Syria, 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.
