Industry
Industrial Filtration
Filter aids are bought on performance. NAGTAR structures diatomite through processing so permeability and retention match the liquid — oils, beverages or industrial streams.
AI-generated illustration of this industry.
How this industry consumes minerals
Filtration plants care about flow and clarity. A mineral name on a bag does not guarantee either. Trials decide; programmes follow.
US market focus
US food, beverage and industrial processors qualify filter aids in plant. We support trial parcels explicitly before recurring supply.
How we approach US buying
Process and test filter-grade diatomite first. Bentonite only when filtration is the named use — not as a default drilling clay substitute.
Buyer segments
Oil and edible-oil filtration
Flow and clarity trials.
Beverage and food processors
Retention and hygiene rules in the trial plan.
Filter-aid distributors
Samples into accounts already running diatomaceous earth.
Path to a first programme
01.Process brief
Liquid, current grade family, failure mode.
02.Performance trial
Permeability and retention.
03.Trial parcel
First executable shipment.
04.Programme
Recurring filter grade with backup origins.
How each product fits
- Filter-Grade Diatomite
Filter-aid after processing — not raw ore marketing.
- Activated / API Bentonite
Only when filtration performance is the brief.
Questions a US desk usually asks
- What liquid and what clarity/flow target?
- Is a trial parcel acceptable before a programme?
- Calcined or natural processed grade family?
Supply continuity
Algeria-first with alternate origins so a filtration plant is not locked to one deposit or calcination line.

From the desk
Notes tied to the minerals in this industry — for buyers who want context before they send a brief.
API barite for US oilfield buyers: density, cadence and continuity
How US mud houses and Gulf Coast distributors brief API-oriented barite — density checks, trial parcels, Algeria-first supply with multi-country backup. No price list.
Drilling vs foundry bentonite: two offers, not one clay
Why NAGTAR separates drilling and foundry bentonite briefs — API-style viscosifier tests versus green strength — and how US buyers should inquire.
Filter-grade diatomite: what buyers test before they buy
Natural diatomite is not a filter aid until processing and plant trials clear permeability and retention. How US filtration desks should brief NAGTAR.
