Feasibility Study on Table Water
SECTION ONE INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Background
The process of purified bottled water manufacturing consist of collecting water from a suitable source, filtration, demineralization, blending with salts, aeration, testing for standards conformation, bottling and packaging.
A process for the production of bacteria free, clean and palatable bottled water was developed by PCSIR Laboratories complex Karachi. It had very simple process consisting of physical operations of settling, filtration and Ultra Violet radiation treatment. This plant was put into process in 1987. During 1990’s much of the mineral water was imported. But today there are more than 26 brands of drinking water available in the market thus showing a substantial growth by the industry.
1.2 Project Brief
This proposed project presents an investment opportunity for establishing a bottled water plant for providing pure drinking water. The proposed product line will consist of bottles of 1.5 and 0.5 liters. In the initial phase of the project only 0.5 liter and 1.5 liters bottles will be introduced in the local market. After successful introduction of the new brand of bottled water the product line may be extended to 13 and 19 liter cans.
12.4 Project Investment
The total cost of the project has been worked out to be 1 million. Period of construction is two months for civil works and three months for machinery & equipment layout and installation.
12.5 Process
Two sources of water can be used for purification purposes on commercial basis.
Ground Water
Water supply from KWSB
The ground water option is relatively costly as it involves more treatment. The ground water available in KWSB at different areas has different chemical composition and the treatment would vary depending upon the chemical composition from area to area. The water supply from KWSB is more feasible as compared to the ground water available in Ijebu Ode. Water can be purchased from KWSB on commercial basis. This feasibility
