Turnkey Mineral Water Project

Listing ID #6596563

It is needless to mention that water, a compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen is a precious natural gift which is very essential for survival of mankind including animals. The water used for potable purposes should be free from undesirable impurities. The water available from untreated sources such as Well, Boreholes and spring is generally not hygienic and safe for drinking. Thus, it is desirable and necessary to purify the water and supply under hygienic conditions for human drinking purpose. As the name implies, the mineral water is the purified water fortified with requisite amounts of minerals such as Barium, Iron, Manganese, etc. which can be absorbed by human body. It is either obtained from natural resources like spring and drilled wells or it is fortified artificially by blending and treating with mineral salts. The mineral water shall be manufactured and packed under hygienic conditions in properly washed and cleaned bottles in sterilized conditions.

Processing and Bottling Raw water to be processed is collected in tanks. A known quantity is pumped into the above tank where the water is dozed with alum for coagulation with heavy metals or insoluble matters. The water after coagulation is allowed to settle for an hour. The impurities may be removed by Reverse Osmosis techniques also. The supernatant water is taken to the chlorination tank where primary disinfection is brought about by bubbling chlorine gas. The water is then passed through sand filters for trapping of un-dissolved impurities. The water after sand filtration is passed through Carbon filters for removal of odor, color and also for de-chlorination. It is then passed through series of micro fillers comprising 5-micron, 1-micron and 0.4-micron filter followed by ultraviolet disinfection system for terminal disinfection. Packing is done in PET bottles of 1-liter capacity through an automatic rinsing, filling, and capping machine fitted with an Ozone generator. The bottles after capping are shrink wrapped (Optional) and packed in corrugated boxes of one dozen each. Quality Control and Standards the plain drinking water has to be bottled in pet bottle as per IS Specifications (IS: 14543:1998: Packaged Drinking Water and IS: 13428:1998: Packaged Mineral Water). The details of the specification can be obtained from Bureau of Indian Standard, Manak Bhawan, 9, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi 110002. Production Capacity Quantity: 45 lakh Bottles per annum Value: Rs. 281.25 lakh. Motive Power 50 H.P. Pollution Control although this unit will not affect the environment, but the entrepreneurs are advised to obtain, No Objection Certificate from competent authority of State Pollution Control Board. They should develop Kitchen Garden in the factory premises to utilize waste water from the plant. Energy Conservation Suitable measures should be adopted to use appropriate amount of fuel and electricity. The promoters should arrange periodic auditing of electrical consumption, as the unit will be running in three shifts. Unnecessary operation of machines should be controlled to avoid excess consumption of electricity. Natural ventilation in production premises may be made available to avoid use of electrical power during day hours.
