In Libya, the basic chemical manufacturing sector is heavily influenced by the oil and gas industry, creating a high demand for specialized cleaning and disinfecting agents. The use of potassium peroxymonosulfate has become critical for maintaining hygiene standards in facilities exposed to extreme desert heat and dust, which often accelerate the degradation of standard chemicals.
The local market faces challenges related to supply chain stability and the need for chemicals that remain stable under high temperature fluctuations. Consequently, there is a shift toward highly stable compounds like potassium monopersulfate, which offer superior shelf-life and efficacy in treating industrial wastewater and cooling towers within Libyan refineries.
Currently, the industry is transitioning from traditional chlorine-based bleach to more environmentally friendly and powerful oxidants. The integration of khso5 based products allows local manufacturers to reduce corrosive damage to infrastructure while achieving higher sterilization rates in food processing and medical environments.
