The Science of
Adsorption

Activated Bleaching Earth is acid-activated Bentonite. The activation process increases surface area and modifies the crystalline clay structure — creating millions of active adsorption sites.

🎨

Decolorization

Selective removal of carotene, chlorophyll, and pheophytin pigments — delivering water-white refined oil that meets international color standards.

🧽

Purification

Adsorption of phospholipid gums, soap traces, and heavy metals (As, Cu, Pb) that cause downstream fouling and quality degradation.

🛡️

Oxidative Stability

Reduces peroxide value to extend shelf-life and preserve flavour integrity of edible oils throughout distribution and retail.

Versatility Across
Refining Industries

Our Activated Bleaching Earth is engineered to address the precise purification challenges of each refining vertical — not just "oil" in generic terms.

🌴

Edible Oil Refining

CPO (Crude Palm Oil), Soybean, Sunflower, Rapeseed, and Coconut oil refining. Precision removal of chlorophyll, carotenoids, and phospholipid gums to achieve international colour and quality standards for food-grade oils.

Key: Carotene & Chlorophyll Removal
🐄

Animal Fat Processing

Tallow and lard bleaching for animal feed applications or industrial uses. Removes dark pigments, odour compounds, and oxidation products to produce light-coloured, stable fat fractions that meet feed or oleochemical purity requirements.

Key: Colour & Stability Restoration

Bio-Diesel (HVO / SAF)

Pre-treatment of renewable feedstocks (UCO, animal fats, palm effluent) to protect downstream hydroprocessing catalysts from metal poisoning by trace As, Cu, Pb, and Ni. Critical for HVO and Sustainable Aviation Fuel production pathways.

Key: Catalyst Protection from Metal Poisoning
🔧

Mineral Oil & Lubricants

Re-refining of used lubricants and industrial waxes to restore colour, clarity, and dielectric properties. Efficiently removes oxidation products, dark sludge, and contaminants to produce base oils suitable for blending and re-use.

Key: Used Oil Color & Clarity Restoration

Why It Performs
Better in Your Refinery

Every specification decision was made with refinery throughput, economics, and product quality in mind.

A

Optimized Particle Size Distribution (PSD)

Our precisely controlled PSD delivers faster filtration rates and less pressure buildup in Niagra or leaf filters. Shorter cycle times translate directly to higher refinery throughput and lower energy costs per ton of oil processed.

B

Minimized Oil Retention

A 5% reduction in oil retention versus a competitor saves enormous product volumes at scale. For a refinery processing 1,000 MT/day the savings compound rapidly.

Saved Revenue =
(Daily Clay Usage) × (Δ Oil Retention %) × (Market Price of Oil)
C

Consistent pH & Controlled Acidity

Our tightly controlled free acidity ensures the clay does not cause "acid-activated" flavour reversion or increase the Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content of the oil during the bleaching process — preserving both quality and refining efficiency.

Certified. Tested.
Trusted Globally.

Every batch is put through rigorous laboratory evaluation before shipment. Our certifications cover food safety, religious compliance, and quality management.
