• Water is vital for sustaining life form. But what
  is more vital is drinking healthy and clean
  water. When water is clean and devoid of any
  bacteria, it keeps one away from any kind of
  health issues that may arise otherwise. And, this
  makes the need for drinking water plants
  mandatory.
• Drinking water plants process water through
  various stages which, in turn, purifies water by
  eliminating unhealthy elements contained in it.
  These plants along with purifying water also add
  minerals and medicinal value to the water so that
  it becomes apt for drinking.
• The following section talks about all the
  resources and processes and other requirements
  for successfully setting up a mineral water
  plant.

Process Followed at Drinking Water Plants

• The Coagulation Raw water from the mentioned
  sources is collected in tanks. Afterward, alum is
  added to the water so that it gets rid of
  insoluble materials. This process is known as
  coagulation.
• Reverse Osmosis Once the coagulation is
  done with, water is left for about an hour so
  that all the other impurities can settle. Then,
  the pressure is applied to water through a
  semi-permeable membrane. This helps in removing
  large particles and ions from the water.
• Chlorination The chlorine gas is bubbled
  through the water so that the water gets rid of
  bacteria and other microscopic germs.
• Sand Filtering Water is then made to pass
  through efficient sand filters so that the left
  impurities can be eliminated.
• Carbon Filtering This step is undertaken
  for eliminating odor, color and also for
  de-chlorinating water.

Ultraviolet Disinfection System As the
name suggests, ultraviolet disinfection system is
then deployed to get rid of any left bacteria and
germs. This treatment makes sure that the water
is completely devoid of any germs.
Bottling Finally, the treated water is bottled
in varied sized bottles, thus making packaged
drinking water available for sale.

Resources Required For Setting up a Drinking
Water Plant

• Water Source The requirement of water source is
  the essential part of installing water plants.
  This source could either be a well, a river or
  even a bore.
• Manpower Requirement Efficient manpower is
  required for setting up a water treatment plant.
  Technical, administrative, marketing and labor
  staff is required for fulfilling the manpower
  requirement for the water plant.
• Costing Talking about the drinking water plant
  cost, a number of factors need to be considered.
  Land, machinery, building, manpower, and
  contingency costs are some important costs that
  need to be looked after when setting up a water
  treatment plant.

• MachineryThe major part of a water treatment
  plant is its machinery. This is high-end
  equipment that would lessen the hard work done by
  a man by introducing automatic processes.
• Machinery such as water tanks, filters, pumps,
  pressure pumps, disinfectant systems, reverse
  osmosis plants, packing machinery, ozone water
  transfer pumps, and chilling machines are
  required for building comprehensive water
  treatment plants.

Other Requirements

• Government Approvals For successful installation
  of a drinking water plant, ISI and FSSAI license
  is required. Along with it, the local authority
  of the area needs to approve the drinking water
  treatment facility for its unhindered operation.
• Training Various educational centers like Indian
  Institute of Food Processing Technology offer
  short-term courses for developing skills required
  to work for a water treatment plant.
• This is all that is required for setting up a
  drinking water plant. So before you contract a
  mineral water company, knowing what all does it
  take to provide you their services, is a must
  know information.
