What You Need To Start Pure Water Production Business

1. Write your business plan

While this article will help form the basis for your business plan, it does not replace it. You have to carefully write your business plan and how you plan to achieve your goal in the business. A detailed business plan should include everything about the business such as: The cost analysis, Market Research, Marketing, and Management. You may hire a professional consultant to help write your plan.

In case you don’t know what business plan is – Business plan is a written document that includes all details of your pure water business startup and operational objectives and strategies. Startup and operating costs, marketing advertising and sales strategies, pricing and profit margins, supplier lists, insurance information, and other topics are included to give you blueprint of your business.
Your pure water production business plan can be used for obtaining business loans, securing investors and for other analytical purposes, and may be modified as the business matures to better outline and guide future operations. So, it is a very important document you must not do without. Cost of market research and business plan = N100,000

2. Purchase Land

A minimum of one plot will do for your business, except you are going for something much more bigger. But if it’s a small scale pure water production plant, you will be good with one plot of land. A plot of land in Lagos outskirts such as Ikorodu and Epe cost from N500,000 to N3M
Land may be cheaper in other states. You must go out there and ask for the prices of lands in the location you wish to setup your pure water production plant. Over all, budget N3M to N5M for land if you want to situate your plant close to the urban area. It is important to document your property. Hence, Price of land, Survey, C of O, and other documents = N5 million – N7 million

3. Construct Bungalow

To construct a bungalow that will serve as your factory together with fencing, finishing, and furnishing, digging of the borehole, and interlocking the compound. Depending on the size of the building, everything will take N5 million – N10 million.

4. Install Distillation System

Distillation is the single most effective method of water purification for pure water production and can be used on all types of incoming water. Unlike other treatment methods such as carbon filters and reverse osmosis, distillation systems are effective on virtually all contaminants and are not dependent on water pressure, water temperature, pH, or chlorine and can even be used on water containing bacteria and parasites and still produce safe, 99.9% pure water. See: UV Sterilizer or Ozone Generator
Distilled water is water that has been heated to the boiling point so that impurities are separated from the water, which itself becomes vapor or steam. Steam is then condensed back into pure liquid form. The impurities remain as residue and are removed.
Pure Water Distillation Systems remove waterborne biological contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, volatile gases, cysts, and other contaminants. Distilled water contains virtually no solids, minerals or traces elements. It is clean, natural and healthy. Steam distilled water is the standard by which all other waters are measured.

Reverse Osmosis Distillation System

Nevertheless, Reverse Osmosis is one of the most widely used and easier to install. Reverse Osmosis also produces water with the highest level of purity and very perfect for your pure water production if you can afford it.

Ultra Violet Bulb

Most pure water makers in Nigeria use just ultra violet bulbs for purification which is not that effective but cheaper. And below is what ultraviolet bulb treatment system looks like.

You may use a simple distillation machine which costs within one million nairas or install a standard distillation system that could take up to ten million nairas. The projected amount you should budget for distillation system = N1 million to N10 million
If you can’t afford any of those, then go for Ultra Violet Filtration. It is the most commonly used in Nigeria by small to medium scale pure watermakers. It cost very little compared to the others, less than N100,000

5. Buy Automatic Sealing Machines

Another important equipment which is the engine of your production line is the Automatic sealing machine. You need just one but if you are planning for a very high volume production, you will need like two or three but on a normal production, one is very okay.
Koyo sachet water sealing machine type is very ideal. This machine is a high precision packing machine and the one of most advanced liquid compound packaging machines available, which stands at the size of a double door refrigerator, three side sealing and intermittent. It can automatically complete bag making, filling, sealing, printing, cutting and counting. Controlled by microprocessor and automatic photocell.
