hanjavur, known as the cultural capital of Tamil Nadu and the “Rice Bowl of India,” is home to agricultural markets, historic temples, educational institutions, hospitals, hotels, and growing commercial zones. Despite access to river and borewell water, high hardness, biological contamination, turbidity, and fluctuating TDS levels make untreated water unsafe for drinking and commercial use.
Metson Machines, a leading turnkey mineral water plant manufacturer from Ahmedabad, offers customized RO and mineral water systems designed to meet Thanjavur’s climate, water challenges, agricultural environment, and commercial consumption needs.
Applications of Mineral Water Plants in Thanjavur
Hospitals, Clinics and Healthcare Centers
Healthcare institutions in Thanjavur require safe, microbial-free drinking water for patients, visitors, and staff. RO systems help maintain hygiene standards and prevent waterborne diseases.
Hotels, Restaurants and Tourism Establishments
With increasing temple tourism and cultural visitors, hotels and restaurants need clean drinking water for guests, food preparation, and hospitality services. In-house mineral water plants improve safety and taste while reducing dependency on packaged suppliers.
Schools, Colleges and Hostels
Educational institutions in Thanjavur serve thousands of students every day. RO-based purification removes hardness, bacteria, and excess salts, providing consistent safe water for drinking and cooking.
Agricultural Trading Centers and Rice Processing Units
Many agro-industries and rice mills in Thanjavur require purified water for worker welfare and certain processing needs. Installing in-house treatment systems improves health standards and boosts productivity.
Commercial Bottling and Water Supply Businesses
Growing urban demand in areas like Thanjavur city, Kumbakonam, Orathanadu, and Pattukkottai supports profitable ventures in 20L jar supply, PET bottle production, and refill stations.
Water Challenges in Thanjavur
Common issues found in borewell and municipal water:
High Hardness – Causes scaling, poor taste, and pipe corrosion
Biological Contamination – Risks of bacteria, coliforms, and algae from river sources
Iron and Turbidity – Seen especially during monsoon and agricultural runoff
TDS Imbalance – Variation due to seasonal groundwater recharge
Salinity – Increases in certain regions closer to delta and floodplains
RO purification, combined with filtration, UV, and ozone treatment, eliminates these contaminants and delivers safe, clear, mineral-balanced water suitable for both drinking and bottling.
