Water Treatment & Production Plant Setup
Delflow Industries Ltd specialises in designing, supplying, installing and commissioning water production plants tailored to small, medium and large-scale entrepreneurs. We combine engineering excellence, regulatory know-how, and practical plant-operation training to deliver reliable, cost-effective drinking water production facilities.
We provide everything you need to start and run your own water treatment and production (satchet and table water) plant. We setup small, medium and large-scale water production plants. We provide resources required for treating, producing and packaging satchet and/or table water, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
The setup process involves state-of-the-art treatment equipment, efficient production systems, and compliance with industry regulations. Our experienced team provides end-to-end support, from planning and designing the plant to commissioning and training. Whether you are entering the water production industry or expanding your production capacity, our services offers a comprehensive solution tailored to your needs.

Flexibility: setups for micro plants (manual/semi-automatic) to high-output automated lines.
Types of plants we design
1. Satchet Water (sachet) Plants
Small footprint plants focused on producing single-serving polyethylene satchets (50–500 mL). Typical clients: retailers, small distributors, community entrepreneurs.
2. Table/Bottled Water Plants
Bottled water plants producing 350 mL–2 L bottles using semi-automatic to fully automatic bottle rinsing, filling and capping lines for higher-margin table water.
3. Hybrid plants
Combined satchet + bottle lines for businesses that want multiple SKUs from the same water treatment train.
Typical process flow
Raw water intake — municipal, borehole, or surface source. Preliminary screening and holding tank.
Pre-treatment — multimedia/ sand filtration, activated carbon filtration, and cartridge filtration to remove turbidity, colour, and organics.
Softening (optional) — if hardness is high and affects taste or scale.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) — primary purification to remove dissolved solids.
Polishing — UV sterilisation and/or ozonation for microbial control; final cartridge polishing filters.
Storage — sterile bulk tanks with hygienic fittings.
Packaging
Satchet filling & sealing — sachet packing machines, nitrogen purging where requested.
Bottle rinsing, filling & capping — rinse–fill–cap machines for PET bottles.
Labelling & packing — automatic or semi-automatic labelers, case packers.
Quality control — onsite testing lab for physical, chemical and microbiological testing.
Equipment we supply
Raw water pumps & storage tanks
Multimedia (sand) filters & activated carbon filters
Dosing pumps for coagulants/antiscalants
Cartridge pre-filters (5 μm, 1 μm)
Reverse Osmosis system (membranes, skid, high-pressure pump)
UV steriliser and/or ozone generator
Polishing filters and mineralisation systems (optional)
CIP (clean-in-place) systems
Sachet sealing machines (vertical form-fill-seal)
Bottle rinse–fill–cap lines (semi-auto to fully automatic)
Air compressors, nitrogen generators (optional for some packaging)
Electrical control panels, sensors, flow meters and PLC/SCADA options
Laboratory equipment: turbidity meter, TDS meter, pH meter, incubators (optional)
Utilities & site requirements
Floor area: depends on capacity — micro satchet plants can fit in ~30–60 m²; larger automated lines require 200 m²+. We'll provide space planning following a site survey.
Power: single-phase for small lines; three-phase recommended for medium/large plants. We provide load lists and backup power options (generators, UPS).
Water source: yield and quality assessment required.
Wastewater/effluent handling: sludge and concentrate disposal strategy; compliance with local discharge rules.
Access & logistics: ease of raw material delivery (roll stock, bottles, caps) and finished goods dispatch.
Compliance, testing & quality assurance
Delflow helps you meet local and international drinking water standards. Our services include:
Development of quality control plans and SOPs
NAFDAC (or equivalent) registration support and documentation assistance
Batch testing protocols (physical, chemical, microbiological)
HACCP-style risk assessment and traceability systems
Lab setup support — essential test equipment and training for in-house QC
Note: final certification requirements vary by country and region. Delflow will advise based on your location and target markets.
Project phases & timeline (typical)
Consultation & feasibility — site visit, raw water testing, capacity planning.
Detailed design & quotation — process flow diagrams, equipment lists, layout drawings.
Procurement & fabrication — lead times vary by equipment and custom items.
Civil & mechanical installation — foundations, piping, electrical works.
Commissioning & performance validation — process tuning, water quality verification.
Training & handover — operator training, maintenance manuals, SOPs.
Typical timeline: 6–16 weeks for small-to-medium turnkey projects; exact timing depends on equipment lead times, site readiness and regulatory inspections.
Cost considerations
Costs vary widely depending on:
Desired capacity (litres per hour/day)
Level of automation (manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic)
Local site preparation and civil works
Quality of source water (higher contamination → more treatment steps)
Packaging choices (sachet vs. bottle; single-lane vs. multi-lane packaging)
Delflow provides detailed, itemised quotes following an initial site survey so you can budget accurately.
Training & operational support
Operator training covering daily operation, routine maintenance, troubleshooting and sanitation.
Technical manuals, SOPs and checklists.
Optional periodic preventive maintenance contracts and spare parts packages.
Customisation & upgrades
We design modular plants that can be expanded as your business grows. Options include:
Additional RO capacity or parallel skids
Automated PLC/SCADA control and remote monitoring
Bottling lines for larger SKUs
Mineralisation or flavouring lines for value-added products
After-sales & warranty
Standard warranty on supplied equipment (terms on quotation).
Post-commissioning support: remote and onsite troubleshooting.
Spare parts supply and maintenance packages to keep downtime low.
