Metson Machines have been designing and manufacturing mineral water plants for more than 10 years. In that time, we’ve seen how purification technologies have evolved and how businesses select them based on their water source, customer expectations, and market positioning.
Instead of focusing on technical jargon, we help our clients understand which method will serve their business goals best. Below is an overview of the most widely used purification technologies in the bottled water industry.
Comparison of Purification Technologies
| Technology | What It Does | Advantages | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reverse Osmosis (RO) | Removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, and chemicals | Produces very pure water; ideal for high-TDS water | Salty or hard water sources, large-scale plants |
| Ultraviolet (UV) | Neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms | Chemical-free; retains natural minerals | Low-TDS water needing microbial protection |
| Ozonation | Disinfects and improves freshness | Stronger than chlorine; leaves no residue | Premium bottled water brands |
| Ultrafiltration (UF) | Filters suspended solids and microbes | Cost-effective; low maintenance | Smaller plants with clean source water |
| Activated Carbon | Improves taste and odor by removing chlorine and organic compounds | Enhances consumer appeal | Pre-treatment or final polishing |
Why This Matters to Your Business
Each of these technologies has its strengths, but the right choice depends on your goals. If you are working with groundwater that has high salinity, RO becomes essential. If your priority is microbiological safety without losing minerals, UV is a smart choice. For premium bottled water brands, ozonation is often the finishing touch that ensures freshness and consumer trust.
Our Approach
From our decades of experience, we know that the best results rarely come from relying on just one method. Instead, we design multi-stage purification systems that combine the right technologies for both safety and taste. A typical high-quality mineral water plant we build may include RO for purity, UV for microbial protection, and Ozonation for taste and freshness, supported by UF and activated carbon where required.
This approach ensures that the final product is consistent, compliant with international standards, and appealing to consumers who expect premium quality.
