Mineral Water Plant

Generally speaking Mineral water is the water that contains minerals. The minerals can be added artificially or can naturally be in the water. Mineral Water is water from a spring or from an underground source like lake, rivers, or wells that contains various minerals in form of carbonates, sodium, magnesium, phosphates, potassium, chlorides, and iron which are responsible for mineral water having such a great taste.

Raw water storage tank may be RCC or PVC of required size

Chlorine is very strong oxidant that kills many micro-organisms. Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to water as a method of water purification to make it fit for human consumption. Water that has been treated with chlorine is effective in preventing the spread of disease.

A Horizontal Centrifugal pump is provided for supplying raw ware to the Pressure Sand Filter Unit.

Raw water is first filtered by filtration unit in series prior feeding membrane. Pressure sand unit is provided for removal of suspended matter and turbidity from raw water. PSF Unit is a SS/FRP Vertical Pressure Vessel. Internally, it is fitted with bottom collecting system. An Uniform grades quartz sand is charged on the supporting media of pebbles and gravels. This unit is fitted with SS/PVC frontal pipe work and Multiport Valve externally.

Naturally water may contain Colour, odour, Chlorine & Organics in different proportion, which is undesirable for portable application, and hence, it is necessary to remove the same from water. If raw water is chlorinated for disinfection, it is necessary to remove the free Chlorine feeding to R.O System. Chlorine being a strong oxidizing agent, it damages R O. Membranes. Activated carbon can remove Chlorine, odour, & Colour while passing through carbon bed . This Carbon granules having larger surface are and specific property to absorb organics. ACF Unit is a SS/ FRP vertical pressure vessel internally fitted with strainer on bottom collecting system. The unit is fitted with SS/ PVC frontal pipe work & MPV externally.

This kind of Micron Cartridge Filter having series of filtration with the 20 Micron, 10 Micron, 5 Micron, 1 Micron, 0.45 Micron & 0.2 Micron Nominal & Absolute Micron Cartridge. This is a Consumable Cartridge and should replace it after days of operation. This for extra safety of your product water as it comes through the followed filtration and there are some chances to slippages for any particles which can be stopped through the Cartridge also 1, 0.45, 0.2 micron cartridge filter will also take care of Bacteriological growth up to 0.2 micron.

The hardness salts of calcium & magnesium are likely to be precipitated if concentration exceeds its solubility limited & it may faults the membranes resulting into scaling which ultimately leads to poor treated water quality from R.O System. To prevent this a anti scalant dosing (scale inhibitor) dosing system is provided. Dosage rate is 4-5 mg/liter. A HDPE chemical preparation tank with an electronics diaphragm type dosing pump is provided for this.

For Reverse Osmosis Process to take place feed pressure of water need to be raised. For this purpose a Vertical Multistage Centrifugal High Pressure Pump in S.S construction is provided. R.O System requires operating pressure of about 10-12 kg/cm². High pressure pump is fitted with S.S. discharge pipe work with necessary control valves. Necessary instruments like a High Pressure Switch, Pressure Gauge and re-circulation valves are provided for safer operation of system.

Reverse Osmosis System rejects 97-99% of total dissolved solids by the principle of ‘Osmosis’. This system consists of a R.O. Module mounted on M.S /S.S Skid. High pressure rating FRP Pressure Vessel is fitted on the skid which houses spirally wound membrane elements in series.

In RO System feed softener water is divided into two streams wiz Product & Reject water. Product water is treated water having lesser TDS. Reject water is highly concentrated water, which is not to be used for any purpose but to be drained. Feed water at elevated pressure is first fed to first Pressure Vessel treated water is collected in centre core tube. Treated water from each membrane is collected jointly in a common product water storage tank and reject is drained.

Through R.O treated water is free from all the micro- biological impurities like Bacteria, Virus, etc. It may redevelop again in water during prolonged storage. Disinfection of water is essential for Reverse Osmosis Application before Filling & Sealing in bottle. Hence, a online Ultra Violet Sterilizer is provided for distinctions of R.O treated water before filling in pre-cleaned PET Bottles. The water to be disinfected is passed through U.V. System, which consists of U.V. Tubes which radiates high intensity Ultra Violet Rays, which in turn kills the micro organisms.

Treated water from R.O. water is stored in a S.S. constructed storage tank of appropriate capacity. The tank is fitted with S.S pipe work & isolation valve and suitable type of level indicator. One no. Of transfer pump is provided S.S material of construction to feed the water in MCF.0
