Sodium nitrite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaNO₂, widely used as a preservative, color fixative, and antimicrobial agent in the food industry, particularly in processed meats. It also plays a crucial role in industrial applications, including dye and pigment production, rubber chemicals, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceuticals. Known for its strong oxidizing properties, sodium nitrite can also be used in heat treatment of metals and as an intermediate in various chemical syntheses. While beneficial in controlled use, it must be handled with caution due to its potential toxicity in excessive amounts.

Setting up a sodium nitrite production plant requires careful planning of raw material sourcing, mainly sodium nitrate and reducing agents, along with suitable reactors, crystallizers, and filtration systems. The facility must include strict safety and environmental controls due to the compound’s hazardous nature. Additional requirements include reliable utility systems for water, power, and waste management, trained manpower for operations, and compliance with chemical handling regulations. Efficient packaging and distribution channels ensure product quality and market competitiveness.
