Production Process
The main processes in a water refilling station is dictated by raw water quality. The
typical steps are filtration (several stages), softening, and disinfection. The machines that could
be installed for such processes are the following:
Multi-media sediment filter – removes sediments such as rust, sand and particles that
are invisible to the naked eye; employs a total of 5 filters.
Ion exchanger – replaces hard minerals with soft minerals.
Activated carbon filter – removes all organic chemicals, herbicide, pesticide, offensive
odor and bad taste.
Reverse osmosis membrane – the heart of the system and the most expensive unit;
removes inorganic minerals, bacteria and viruses while retaining its oxygen content.
Since the filter size is very small at less than 0.05 micrometre, the product water could
have a total dissolved solids (TDS) of less than 10 ppm. The filtration process rejects
about 50 percent of raw water volume.
Post-carbon filter – improves the taste of water.
Ultraviolet lamp – ensures that the water is free from disease-causing micro-organisms.
Ozone generator – inhibits the growth of bacteria in the product tank and prolongs the
shelf life of water.
