As people become more health conscious, the demand for bottled water is increasing at a rapid rate. Bottled water provides easy transportability and assured water quality.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is the most economical method of removing 90% to 99% of all contaminants. The pore structure of RO membranes is much tighter than UF membranes. RO membranes are capable of rejecting practically all particles, bacteria and organics , (including pyrogens). In fact, reverse osmosis technology is used by most leading water bottling plants.

The softeners are charged with a high capacity polystyrene bead cation exchange resin in sodium form. When hard water passes through this resin column, the hardness forming calcium and magnesium salts are replaced with sodium salts which do not posses any hardness properties. This softening process is continuous until the material is exhausted of sodium salts when it is regenerated with a solution of common salt.

Demineralization or Deionisation is the process of removing mineral salts from water by using the ion exchange process. With most natural water sources it is possible to use Demineralisation and produce water of a higher quality than conventional distillation.

Ultraviolet light deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens and destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. Specifically, UV light causes damage to the nucleic acid of microorganisms by forming covalent bonds between certain adjacent bases in the DNA. The formation of such bonds prevents the DNA to reproduce.

The bottles are held on neck only rinsing is done by jets which are pressurized by pump. A suitable overhead tank of approx. 70ltr. Over head tank is provided with machine for continues water for filling. 10 feet (air conveyor) feed ss slat conveyor and 20 feet discharge conveyor fitted with inspection board and shrink tunnel provided along with machine. A separate cap feeder with storage capacity of around 1000 caps with mechanical systems is provided.

The machine is of rotary design having five turn tables To feed bottle from conveyor o rinsing, Rinsing, Filling, Transfer of bottle from filling to Capping, Capping.

Raw water feed pump is using to feed the water to sand and carbon filter.

Turbidity in the water is suspended insoluble matter including coarse particles (mud, sediment, sand etc.,) the turbidity (silt) of R.O feed water is

This is the process of passing water containing suspended matter through a suitable porous material (filter media) to effectively remove the suspended solids in the water. Filter media commonly employed are graded and washed sand of effective size 0.35mm to 0.50mm resting on a supporting under bed of crushed gravel and pebbles of four varying sizes, with coarsest size at the bottom of the bed.

This filter contains activated carbon, which removes -Color of water -Smell -Odor And it will remove mainly free chlorine in feed water to R.O System .due to free chlorine membrane may effects serious damage.

This dosing system consists of a dosing pump with chemical storage tank. In this tank an antiscalant chemical is added in proportionate dosage in order to prevent the scaling tendency (like ca&mg scales) in the raw water before passing to membrane system. This chemical is to be added with dosage of 5ppm of the raw water quantity. The chemical is added in 25ltrs of water and passed to dosing pump.

These filters are used to remove the left over particles passed through the media filters. It can be filtered up to 5-micron particle size. This filter has to be removed from the housing and washed with normal water with pressure once in 10 days.

This pump buildup high-pressures for filtering the dissolved solids minerals from raw water and it used to pressurize the water up to 0-16kgcm2 and this water is supplied to membrane system.

The product water of the R.O plant will have less TDS.So; a blending line from the raw water will be added to the storage tank in order to have minimum minerals of the water for drinking purpose.
