How to Start a Packaged Drinking Water with PET Bottles Manufacturing Business
Introduction
Packed drinking water is water that has been filtered and disinfected in some way, such as by filtration, UV or ozone treatment, or reverse osmosis (RO), and then packaged in plastic or glass bottles or pouches for our use. A liquid cannot contain sweeteners or chemical additives (other than flavours, extracts, or essences) and must be calorie-free and sugar-free to be considered “bottled water.”

PET
PET, also known as PETE or Polyethylene Terephthalate, is a solid, rigid synthetic fibre derived from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. PET is used in almost every plastic water bottle on the planet. But what are the characteristics that make it such an excellent food packaging material? PET containers are not only lightweight, but they also do not react biologically with food. Apart from that, PET is a durable, non-reactive, cost-effective, and shatterproof material that is likely to save the day. PET’s protection in food, beverage, and personal care products, as well as pharmaceutical and medical applications, has been acknowledged by health authorities all over the world. One of the main reasons why many manufacturers choose PET is that it is 100% recyclable and highly sustainable. It can be recovered and recycled several times –– into personal care product tubes, carpet and clothing fibres, vehicle components, building materials, industrial strapping, and other packaging materials, for example.
Benefits
Health Benefits
Mineral water is considered to have a variety of health benefits due to its carbonation and mineral content.
Contributing to Heart Health
In one research, postmenopausal women consumed one litre of mineral water a day for two months at a time. Mineral water consumption reduced bad (LDL) cholesterol levels while increasing healthy (HDL) cholesterol levels, according to the findings. Mineral water helps keep the heart safe and functioning properly, as high cholesterol raises the risk of heart failure and other diseases.
Lowering Blood Pressure
Researchers tested the effects of mineral water on subjects with borderline hypertension (high blood pressure) and low calcium and magnesium levels in a 2004 report. They noticed a noticeable reduction in these people’s blood pressure after four weeks of drinking mineral water.
Relieving Symptoms of Constipation
Carbonated mineral water can help people with dyspepsia (indigestion) and constipation by reducing constipation and improving symptoms. It also has the added advantage of improving gallbladder function.
Health Risks
Although there are no known health risks associated with drinking mineral water, drinking it from a plastic bottle may do so.

Manufacturing Process
CHLORINE DOSING SYSTEM:
The direct consumption of raw water is considered unfit for drinking as it may contain living microorganisms. Also raw water may hold ferrous compounds which can get oxidized to ferric oxide. They then settle down in the storage tank thus increasing the water woes. The Hypochlorite dosing system, which is used for this purpose. About 3-4 ppm of sodium hypochlorite solution is dosed in raw water storage tank. The solution reacts with water to form a hypo chlorite acids which ultimately acts as a disinfecting agent.
RAW WATER STORAGE TANK:
For storing chlorinated water with adequate capacity, one number of raw water is needed. PVC pipework and isolation valves, as well as the required type of level indicator, are installed in the tanks.
RAW WATER SUPPLY PUMP:
A Stainless Steel Horizontal Centrifugal Pump is used to supply a significant proportion of raw water to the Pressure Sand Filter Unit. Along with our machinery, we also have this Raw Water Supply Pump.

PRESSURE SAND FILTER:
Prior to feeding the R.O.Plant, raw water is filtered using a filtration mechanism that employs a series of filtration units. Also included is a Pressure Sand Filter Unit, which is an effective tool for removing suspended matter and turbidity from raw water. Internally, the PSF Unit is equipped with a bottom collection mechanism and is an SS vertical Pressure Vessel. On the supporting media of pebbles and gravels, uniform grades of silica quartz sand are charged. Externally, this device has SS frontal pipework and a Multiport Valve. Over the duty period, water passes through the sand bed in a downward direction, trapping suspended matter and turbid particles and separating them.
Due to suspended matter, the sand bed becomes blocked over time, resulting in a higher pressure drop and reduced flow. As a result, the filter bed must be backwashed at some stage. When the pressure drop across the sand bed reaches the prescribed limit (0.5 kg/cm2) or the filtered water quality deteriorates, whichever comes first. Backwashing and rinsing the Sand Bed are part of the regeneration process. To perform the backwashing feature, water is allowed to flow in the opposite direction of the service cycle to loosen the filtering media bed. As a result, entrapped suspended matter detaches and is released along with effluent water. The backwashing process is run for around 10 to 15 minutes, or until the effluent is clear. For sand bed rinsing: To settle the sand bed, service water is directed downward. To ensure that all unclear water is drained out, the effluent water is drained for about 5 minutes.

ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER:
Water obtained from natural sources which contain visible impurities, odours, and bacteria in varying proportions, rendering it unfit for any use. It is therefore necessary to remove these contaminants from water. If the raw water has been chlorinated for die-infection, the free chlorine must be removed before feeding into the R.O. system. Chlorine, which is a potent oxidizing agent, damages the R.O. Membranes. By passing water through a carbon bed, Activated Carbon is the ideal solution for removing chlorine, odour, and colour. Because of their wide surface area, carbon granules can directly absorb organics found in water. The ACF Unit is a pressurized upright vessel made of FRP with a built-in strainer on the bottom that deposits syringes. The frontal tubing is made of stainless steel, and the MPV works externally. The supporting media of Coarse and Fine Silex are charged with granular activated carbon. The feed water is treated by flowing vertically through a Carbon Bed, which removes chlorine and bad odours from the water. The equipment is set aside for regeneration when the pressure level inside the Carbon Bed exceeds the prescribed limit of (0.8 kg/cm2) or the consistency of treated water degrades, whichever comes first. Backwashing and flushing of the Carbon Bed are part of the restoration process. Carbon’s consistency deteriorates after prolonged use. Standard laboratory monitoring can be used to keep a close eye on this. Specifically, the iodine value, which is the most important factor in this application. It is standard procedure to substitute activated Carbon granules once a year.
ANTI SCALENT DOSING:
Precipitation is needed for elements such as salts, calcium, and magnesium that are present in excess quantities. If they reach the solubility limit, the water nutrient level is jeopardized.
THE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM:
The RO method removes dissolved solids from the water after it has been cleaned. It’s a device that passes highly concentrated water through a semi-permeable membrane with micro filters.
PRODUCT WATER STORAGE TANK:
The treated water from the R.O. system is stored in our custom-designed S.S. storage tank, which has the capacity needed. The tank is equipped with a stainless steel pipe system, isolation valves, and the required level indicator. Every tank has a single transfer pump made of stainless steel that feeds the softened water into the MCF.
