Bottling / Packaged Drinking water plant

 In a bottling water plant drinking water and beverages are prepared for sale and distribution in
a specific geographic region.
 Packaged bottled water industry is segmented into two parts; Packaged drinking water and
Natural mineral water.
 Packaged drinking water uses filtration, UV or ozone treatment or reverse osmosis (RO) before
it becomes fit for human consumption and Natural mineral water meets the specified quality
standards without any processing.
 Natural mineral water uses water from underground sources which is packaged close to the
source and meets the specified quality standards without any processing.

Packaged bottled drinking water convert the infected water into a treated water through a
process that involves filtration, UV or ozone treatment or reverse osmosis (RO).

 Increasing population, industrialization and demand

for fresh water are the driving factors for India’s
bottled water market over the past few years.
 Bottling companies are aiming to capture all the
different packaging segments of bottled water market.
More demand for bulk water and water cups is
coming from many corporate events and social
functions.
 In India, contaminated water continues to be an issue
and cause diseases such as diarrhoea, dysentery,
typhoid, jaundice and gastroenteritis. As a result; the
usage of bottled water has become even more
important and significant.

Water bottling process

As a first step raw water is chlorinated with Dosing pump. This chlorinated water is then covert to
de-chlorinated water to softened water to treated water and finally to purified mineral water with the
help of different filters, RO unit and U.V system. The purified water then gets packed into bottled
water after testing.
