 ABOUT US

SURYACHEM  is one of the largest Manufacturers & Exporters of  Acid Activated Bleaching Earth/Fullers Earth/Bentonite clay from India. A special type of clay formed by the decomposition of primary rocks.  This clay is found in the form of layers in the earth from where it is mined by open mining system.

Activated Earths of Suryachem are manufactured with utmost care for uniform quality with requisite adsorbtive power.  These earths have been covering a wide range of fatty products including Edible Oils,Animal Oils, fats and waxes.  In fact, they have been developed after extensive study and intensive research over the physical and chmical properties of both earths an oils.  More than 23,52,200 earth samples have been tested in their laboratories and final selection has been made with utmost care and precision.

The dynamic promoters of Suryachem have behind them years of achievement in the field of Oil Refining and particularly the re-refining of used lubricating Oils.  Being  chemists by profession, they have implemented this project with high precision and exacitude with the collaboration of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay for technical know-how.  Today, it is no surprise that Surya has come to stay as one of the lading re-refining units in India.

Besides, Surya has been working for the last 20 years in the manufacture of highly qualitative washing soaps and detergents.  With competitive prices, Surya has entered  Earths and Industrial Oil specialities more so of petroleum products of import substitute category.  The research activities are aimed at immediate practical applications utilizing the resources and inputs available in the country.  The number of petroleum specialities is substantially large amd cpimtru’s requirements are dictated by indigenous machine designs, climatic conditions and limited resources that are available indigenously.
 

WHAT IS BLEACHING EARTH?

Bleaching earth or clay is a decolorising and clarification agent that is much used in the oil industries for the bleaching of vegetable, animal and mineral oils, fats and waxes.

There are two types of bleaching earths - the natural or Fuller’s earth and the highly acitc, chemically processed earth.  The forrmer, which are obtained from selected raw material and have naturally a certain bleaching power, require only simple treatment in their preparation, such as drying of the raw earth and milling to required fineness.  Only with material containing sand or stone, it is necessary to introduce, before drying,the step of water-washing to settle out the impurities from the clayey substances.

The second  type, or chemically activated clays of high bleaching power, are produced by a process involving treatment with sulphuric acid, or preferably hydrochloric acid.  Such chemically treated material has an ethicacy, conciderably greater than that of the natural bleaching earths.  For this reason less bleaching agent is required for a degree of decolorizing and less oil is lost in the earth after filtering.  In order to opeate most economically and reduce this oil losss to a minimum, one uses advantageously the most highly activated earth possible.
 

OUR MINING AREAS

SURYACHEM has its own mining area (Fuller’s Earths) where its technical personnel test the material before excavating the mines according to best composition results.  Thus the raw material of greatest uniformity is assured an important basis for constant quality and reliability at highly active bleaching earth.  We are adopting most latest process for the manufacture of highly activated bleaching earths with a group of experienced people by taking selective raw material.
 

We are having our own mining lands in and around Tandur area in Andhra Pradesh and Korvi in Karnataka.  We are mining Bentonite since over a decade and are supplying to reputed local Bleaching Earth manufacturers.  We have also supplied some quantities to the exporters who buy the mineral from us are exporting to Malaysia.

The deposits of Fuller’s Earth are abundantly available in Andhra Pradesh near Vikarabad Taluq and Tandur Taluq of Ranga Reddy District.  The deposits of Fuller’s Earth are in and around Gopalpur, Narsapur,Tandur, Vikarabad etc.  The deposits are also available in other parts of India, i.e. Gujarat, Karnataka,Bihar, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir etc.  In the world United States of America the major producing country of Bleching Clay.  Next comes West Germany and England.  Clay deposits are also available in Russia,Italy, Japan,Canada,Australia etc.

As we are already exported our Bentonite to Malaysia,Nepal,Neigeria.  We are capable of supplying about 25,000 to 70,000 Tons per month.  We can ensure a regular supply of good quality material at a very competitive price from time to time.  We can arrange a tour to the different mine sites that we own and mineral from selected  mines can be supplied as per the choice of the customer.

The Basic Raw Material Atapulgite is abundantly available in India, especially in Andhra Pradesh.

The Mining Areas, i.e. Tandur,(Andhra Pradesh and surrounding places where the deposits are available are about 100 k.m. from the factory of Suryachem.  The raw material deposits are sufficient for atleast 100s of years to come.  In addition to the regular suppliers of the basic raw material,the family members of the Group of Companies are owning Mining Lands.  Hence,we do not foresee any difficulty for the procurment of the basic raw material.  The Promoters of the Group of Companies (same group) areowning the lands where the factory of suryachem is situated to the tune of 2000 Acres

Surya's Research & Development

 

With their RICH experience in the manufacture of petroleum products, SURYA’S Research and Development Wing has developed the process to manufacture BEST QUALITY Activated Bleaching Earths to compete with International products available in the market.  Now SURYA  is proud to say that they are the FIRST and ONLY people in India to manufacture Bleaching Earths with I.S.I. Mark.

The main aim of Surya’s Research Centre is to stimulate research efforts for the development of Fuller’s Earth, Industrial Speciality Oils and Lubricating Oils for general and special applications.

Suryachem have a group qualified and experienced technicians and suggest tailor made products to meet the customer’s distinctive requirements in the field of activated earths.

Any technical information on the use of Activated Earths and carbons and other assistance required by customers will be promptly attended too.

Fuller’s earth in the crude form is subected to a highly sensitive quality control process for finding out three important properties of activated earths, namely bleaching efficiency, filterability and oil retention.

Success to Surya is not a destination but a journey.  It calls for continuing research in those edible and non edible oils that sustain long-run technological results.
 
 

HOW BENTONITE IS RELATED TO BLEACHING EARTH?

Bentonite is a mineral used in the manufacture of Activated Bleaching Earth.  It is the main raw material used in the process of the manufacture of Activated and Non Activated Earth.  The Activated and Non Activated Earth is used in the refining of Edible oils.  In Malaysia it is used in the refining of Palm Oil.
 

CONSUMPTION OF BLEACHING EARTH

As a result of increase in the Edible Oil and Vanaspati production, the consumption of Bleaching Earth has increased manifold and its present requirement is estimated to be 60 MILLION TONNES PER ANNUM. Out of this, India is, at present, able to meet 50% of its requirements and the balance demand is met by imported bleaching earth of which Tonsil of West Germany takes the major share.  Although India is able to produce 50% of its requirement, the quality of the bleaching earth manufactured is not up to the required standards, with the exception of 2-3 units, who are able to produce material of International Standards and among them, Suryachem takes leading position in the country.
 

QUALITY CONTROL OF OUR PRODUCT

Whave strict quality control measures and is operated by a team of qualified and eperienced Chemiss and Engineers through-out the manufacturing process form raw clay to finished products, samples are collected and analysed at regular intervals thus proividing continuous checks on product quality.

Tests for oil bleaching and oil retention capacity, speed of filteration, residual acidity, moisture content, density, surface area and particle size  are constantly carried out as per international standard.  The constant and stringent tests carried out during production ensures quality Bleaching Earth of the highest standards.  Our Activated Bleaching Earths are comparably better than imported and other indigenous products.
