An overview on the essentials to make a mineral water project successful

If it is about taking  charge of a mineral water project or about starting a mineral water plant on your own taking a mere distributorship then there are endless points one needs to

consider before plunging into the real time scenario.

The first and foremost questions to bug you are as follows,

• What is the Profit Margin?

• How much is the investment?

• How much is the ROI (Return on Investment)?

• What are the Risk Factors?

• How to minimize the Risk Factors?

Now, in order to come to a conclusion about the profit margin, one needs to think over the mode, bottle, jar, pouch or just all of them? In case you are trying to have your o

promoted then it is a must to decide on the product mix. In case, you will just undertake a distributorship the choice is rather limited.

Whatever it is, your decision is going to get influenced by the following elements,

• Investment

• Space

• Profit Margin

• Power

Investment: The amount of investment truly depends on the type and capacity of the mineral water project and plant. Thus, it comes down to square one to the concept of the product

mix of bottles, jars and pouches. It can be a mix of all three or just a jar or a pouch plant. The standard module of all the plants bears a capacity of 2000 LPH. After the type of the plant

is de4cided then the next point to concentrate on will be the choices of machinery and equipment. The other expenditure will include,

• Utility expenses such as, Water Electricity Air Conditioning, air Compressor etc.

• Liaison Expenses such as, ISI License & other Government License expenditure.

• Consultancy Charges towards ISI Consultancy project funding etc.

• Building Cost covering Construction and the interior cost.

ROI: If the plant is run professionally then the mineral water plant will start generating returns within 3 years.

Risks: The risk factors include,

• Absence of parallel execution system

• Absence of Coordination

• Absence of documentation

• Failure in execution

How water softening is beneficial to fight the hard water problem?

Water comprises various mineral compounds and different dissolved impurities and the element that is present in maximum amount include calcium and magnesium. They are solely responsible for making the water soft. The hardness of the water is generally measured in terms of the metrics- grains/gallon. A grain is made of 1/7000th of 1 pound. Water containing the hardness creating elements amounting to more than 7 grains or equal to it is considered hard.

There are several disadvantages put forward by the hard water, for instance they get deposited to the inner lining of the pipes and leads to a scale build up. They tend to delay the process of heating of the water and in the process increases the energy bill to a great extent. Another major ill effect of hard water happens to be damaging your clothes a great deal. Water containing hard elements doesn’t let the cleansing agents such as soaps and detergents work on dirt.

They even lead to discolouring the fabrics and make them look dull. Thus a water softening plant is indeed an important essential to remove the impurities and the dissolved minerals in the water and make it more user- friendly. The softeners are generally minute beads over which the water flows. Hard water is high in sodium content and it is been seen that the sodium jumps on the softening beads and knocks down the calcium and magnesium as well. The softener can be used once the magnesium and the calcium are flushed out of it.

The hard water can be very well used for gardening purposes. They will enrich the soil with the mineral content and thus your plants will grow healthy. Do not wash your car with hard water as it will tend to leave water mark on the car body and thus it is important to have a water softening system in the car parking area.

Why Do Environmentalists Stress So Much On Water Treatment Plants?

Disposal of sewage water is a major problem in developing countries. On one hand, industrialization is opening new doors of modernization and also providing jobs. On the other hand, this industrialization is making the environment too much polluted.

Lack of adequate sanitation in large areas leads to spread of disease causing bacteria and virus into other sources of water. Apart from this, pharmaceutical and chemical products are also not disposed off in a proper manner. All these increase the chemical load of sewage water. Oil spillages, dumping waste products into oceans and river water, etc. largely contribute to the contamination of water. Some of these pollutants such as aluminium, plastic and Styrofoam take really long time to degrade.

Water treatment process is very important as it makes the water re-useable. Water treatment plants carry out several processes to treat contaminated water to make it fit for industrial and domestic consumption.
Water undergoes a pre-treatment process as well. It includes:

Water Treatment PlantPumping and Containment
Screening
Storage
Pre-conditioning
Pre-chlorination

After pre-treatment, the water is further treated in the water treatment plant.

pH Adjustment- pH level of neutral water is 7. pH adjustment is done to neutralize too much acidic or alkaline nature of water.

Flocculation- used to remove turbidity from water

Sedimentation- the floc that precipitates from the water during the flocculation process is separated.

Filtration- final stage of removal of dirt from water.
Water Softening Plant
Removal of Chemical Impurities and Ions- hazardous chemicals such as lead, arsenic and nitrite are removed

Disinfection- Chemicals like chlorine are added the water to kill disease causing virus and bacteria.

Water softening plant softens hard water and makes it fit for domestic and commercial purposes. Hard water does not cause any disease but it is not fit for using as well. For example, if you wash your clothes in hard water, lather will not be much.  Hence, hard water should be passed through various processes in a water softening plant.

Why is Mineral Water Considered to be the Safest Kind of Water?

What is mineral water? Mineral water is water from a mineral spring. It owes its sparkling nature to the gases contained in it.  Water borne disease is one of the main reasons why people are largely switching to mineral water from normal water. Nowadays people are more health conscious and they know that impure water is the cause of several diseases.

The difference between mineral water and packaged drinking should be understood. Mineral water contains minerals which are either naturally present in the water or added artificially. Packaged drinking water is made fit for human consumption and then sealed.  Meeting up the growing demand of mineral water in the global market, giant MNCs are earning huge money. Packaging of mineral water is done by mineral water plant projects. Nowadays bottled mineral water is in demand everywhere- from corporate offices to restaurants.

Mineral Water Plant Project

From Corporate offices to restaurant, mineral water is available everywhere.  Magnesium, chloride, Sulfate, Calcium and Iron are some of the minerals present in water and are essential for the human body. Mineral water is never chemically treated. The minerals contained in mineral water are beneficial for treatments of arthritis, joint and muscle inflammation and rheumatism. Mineral water plants have expert teams to ensure that the quality of the mineral water is maintained up to standard.

Though setting up mineral water plant is a blooming business, it has high failure risk as well. Some of the points that should be borne in mind while beginning a new mineral water project are as follows:
Proper market research
Proper Plan layout
Deciding the proper product mix.

It is also interesting that mineral water spring sites have been popular tourist destinations all around the world.
