Malta water bottling plant tripled its capacity
Introduction.
Turn-key system halves our client's ecological footprint
The island of Malta has no natural water supply. All drinking water is extracted from deep groundwater sources.
Our current client is a local business that supplies high quality, locally produced bottled water to the inhabitants. Centrally located on Malta, the company is known for their fast and efficient delivery services. They are also known for only selling top quality water with a balanced mineral content.
Offering larger 11 and 19 L bottles to local businesses, our client has now expanded their product range by adding two-liter bottles to the consumer market.
The problem.
They have previously used ozone for many years in order to sanitize their final product and ensure a long shelf life and a nice taste. However, the capacity of the old ozone system was no longer enough following the increased capacity requirements with the new 2 L bottling line. The old ozone system could not reach the targeted dissolved ozone levels.
In addition, the available space was a concern since the new bottling line more than tripled the required water flow.
The solution.
Our client turned to Mellifiq to help them upgrade the total ozone capacity.
A complete turn-key solution, an Ozonetech RENA Vivo B1 ozone system, was delivered and installed in-line following the RO and filter stations. In order to maintain proper dissolved ozone levels, ORP control was integrated into the control system including a sensor. Ozonetech was also able to accommodate for hydraulic pressure variations in order to operate each bottling line individually or in combination. The advanced operational mode control was a perfect fit.

Evaluation.
The upgrade decreased the footprint by half compared to the previous ozone unit, while also having three times the capacity. The system capacity can easily be upgraded without any added floor space as well. The ORP control was tuned specifically to maintain stable ozone levels regardless of the current water flow. The system operates at very low noise levels compared to the old unit. Due to the warm conditions, a dedicated cooling system was included in the delivery so that the client could avoid using local tap water.
In the end, this results in a more reliable bottling production with a more efficient system that occupies less space and lowers operational costs with opportunities to upgrade production capacity.
