Hence, the role of packaged drinking water has become really important.

With increased demand, a huge scope for the generation of employment opportunities is available for people. Hence, there are some basics that you need to know about establishing a packaged drinking water plant. Therefore, let’s understand this in detail.

The most important steps in establishing a packaged drinking water plant are as below:

1. Understand the opportunities in the market

As you understand how the demand for clean drinking is increasing, there is a huge scope for the generation of employment opportunities. Therefore, you need to understand the pattern and demand of the market of any local city or state and then plan accordingly.

2. Get your license and certification

No matter how big or small the industry you set up, getting a license is a must. You may also need some certificates for the same. The important list of all the tests and licenses required for packaged drinking water plant includes:

• Firm registration: This is the most important certificate that you will need to start your mineral water drinking water plant.
• ISI certification
• Pollution control certificate: This is also an essential set of registration certificates you will need for your water plant establishment.
• Water test reports
• Certificate of pest control
• Import-export code: You will also need to register for the import-export code if you plan to export your mineral water bottles.
• GST registration: You will also need a GST registration certificate if your turnover is above the specified limit.
• SSI/MSME: This registration will also be very beneficial for you. It will entitle you to avail benefits through government schemes.
• BIS certification: It is the certificate of the Bureau of Industrial Standards. As per the certificate, the specified standard of mineral water is set at IS 13428: 1998.
• Trade license: You will need this license from your local state authority. This is a license that entitles you to carry out a trade for water packaging and supply.
• FSSAI license: This license is also important as mineral water falls under the category of food. You also need to comply with the food prevention act.

Getting the above-mentioned licenses and certificates is compulsory for any individual to start a mineral water bottle plant. This will not only ensure better trade but also entitle you to carry out smooth processing without any hassle.

3. Assemble the raw material

There are plenty of raw materials that you may need for the establishment of a packaged drinking water plant. A list of these materials includes the following things:
• bottles
• caps
• chemicals
• cartons
• reagents and many other raw materials

Therefore, all these materials will be very essential for establishing a packaged drinking water plant. Apart from these, you will also need to select the right machinery as well. Select the device that fits your budget as well as your scheme. Henceforth, you must learn its functioning and use it accordingly.

4. Purification of water

Once you select the location and install a water purification plant, there is still a lot more you will need to do.
The steps involved in water purification are:

Storage
You use a pump to store all the water in a storage unit. Here, coagulation of water using alum takes place.

Osmosis
We will then keep the water settling for an hour or so. Therefore, this method will help in removing all the impurities present in it through osmosis.

Processing through chlorine gas
Bubbling of chlorine through water makes it pure. This process is also considered very important for the purification of water.

Filtration

Passing the waters through sand filters dissolves all the impurities present in the water. Hence, sand filtration is an essential step involved in the methods of purification.

Carbon filtration
After sand filtration, we filter the water through carbon filtration. This helps in the removal of color as well as odor.

Microfiltration
This is the final step involved in the disinfection of water. Microfilters help to purify the water after ultraviolet disinfection of water.

Filling of bottles
After microfiltration, we package the drinking water. Packing, capping, and sealing bottles with ozone generators will take place once you achieve purification.

Packaging
The final bottles released from water plants will be safe to drink. This water will reach the market and transportation, and selling of these water bottles will take place.

Marketing and branding
Now, the most important task starts here. You have to do proper branding and marketing of your mineral water bottles to ensure that it reaches the right audience.

Conclusion

Mineral water purification ensures that clean and purified water reaches everyone. Running water that is unfit for drinking is made pure and healthy for the consumption of people. Bottling and purifying water is the main objective of a water purification plant. About the scope of this plant, there has been a 30-40% hike in the revenue through this industry. As people are becoming aware of the importance of clean drinking water, this industry is expanding and growing.
