How Mineral Water Plant Works
Ongoing water shortages are causing an increase in demand for water. Due to the limited availability of freshwater, governments find it increasingly difficult to provide fresh water to their populations. As a result, several firms have built mineral water facilities to get fresh drinking water. However, the question arises, how do we get fresh mineral water? Bottling India discusses the working of mineral plants for the consumer to know, how do they get clean water
CHLORINE DOSING SYSTEM Living microorganisms and chemical compounds in raw water can foul a membrane and reduce its effectiveness. Due to its presence, the iron in water can be oxidized to ferric oxide settle down in the storage tank. We have a Hypochlorite dosage device available for this purpose. The raw water storage tank is dosed with a sodium hypochlorite solution of 34 ppm. Hypochlorite acids are formed when this chemical interacts with water.
RAW WATER STORAGE TANK For the storage of chlorinated water, one quantity of raw water is necessary. A PVC piping system, isolation valves, and an appropriate level indicator are installed in the tank’s interior.
RAW WATER SUPPLY PUMP Stainless steel horizontal centrifugal pumps have been installed to deliver raw water to the Pressure Sand Filter Unit. There is also necessary suction and discharge piping in stainless steel with isolation valves up to the PSF Unit.
PRESSURE SAND FILTER R.O. Plant feeds raw water via a series of filters. To remove suspended particles & turbidity from raw water, a Pressure Sand Filter Unit is provided. The PSF Unit is a Stainless Steel vertical pressure vessel (PSF Unit or PSF Unit). Inside, it is equipped with a bottomcollection mechanism. On top of the pebbles and gravels, uniform grades of silica quartz sand are placed. SS frontal pipework and a Multiport Valve are installed on the outside of the unit
SMBS DOSING SYSTEM For the same reason, we’ve installed a sodium metabisulphite dosing mechanism to prevent the membrane from oxidizing. The recommended dosage is 4-5 mg/liter. For this, an HDPE chemical preparation tank with a diaphragm-type electronic dosing pump is available.
ANTI SCALENT DOSING A concentration of calcium and magnesium hardness salts that exceeds their solubility limit is likely to precipitate and damage membranes, resulting in scaling and poorly treated water quality from RO systems. There is a scale inhibitor dosage method to prevent this from happening. Standard practice is to add a scale-inhibitor, such as Perma care 191, to feed water. The recommended dosage is 4-5 mg/liter.
OZONE GENERATOR The RO system rejects all micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses, but they may grow in sealed bottles over time after passing through the UV system. Because of this, sanitizing Reverse Osmosis (RO) water before bottling is very important. This is a must if you want to verify that your mineral water plant meets the required requirements. Your water will become Oxygen-Rich, and This Ozone Generator will prevent bacteriological Growth, which extends the shelf life of packaged drinking water bottles if it is not opened for a while. The ozonation of water may also enhance the flavor of your treated water by adding a sour flavor to it.
If your primary water source fails or gets polluted, you’ll have a backup supply of clean water to drink.
Packaged drinking water has the following advantages
This is a convenient supply of clean water that may be consumed outside the house. Bottled water may taste better than untreated tap water since it does not include chlorine and may have a combination of minerals to increase flavor. It’s safe to say that untreated tap water has more pollutants than most bottled water
