COMPANY PROFILE

In 1967, Bisleri an Italian company, started by Singer Felicebisleri, first brought


the idea of selling bottled water in India. It started a company called Bisleri
India. In 1969, Ramesh Chauhan, the Chairman of Parle Exports, bought over
the brand. In those days, Bisleri packaged drinking water was available in glass
bottles. Being a returnable package owing to various other problems such as
breakage and weight, in 1972-73, Bisleri was made available in PVC (Poly Vinyl
Chloride) bottles. After this plastic packaging was introduced, things started to
change, and sales increased rapidly. The upsurge in the sales of Bisleri started
in 1993 as Ramesh Chauhan sold off the Parle stable of brands, including
Thums up, Limca and Gold Spot. Recognizing the potential of the drinking
water market, he then went on to concern trade on marketing Bisleri a top
selling brand in India.

VISION
Our vision is to be the dominant player in the branded water
business. We must expand and be a leader in the premium
beverage category.
MISSION
We must have world class quality, at the lowest production and distribution
cost. This will make us an unbeatable leader, and we will have satisfied
loyal customers.

MANUFACTURING OF PACKAGED DRINKING WATER

1. RAW WATER SOURCE


We should have stringent checks on the source water.
BOREWELL:
Area around bore well should be kept clean and free from any dirt. garbage,
rough surface, stagnant water and
pests. It should be covered from all sides and closed from top with lock & keys
to avoid any contamination.
Where sampling points are necessary, they should be designed and operated
to prevent any contamination.
The immediate surroundings of the extraction or collection area should be
protected by limited access to only authorized person.
Source water should be analysed twice in a year as per IS 10500: 2012 by
approved external lab (as per new FSSAI guidelines) and once a month in the
plant (as per BIS form 5) to monitor its quality.

2. WATER TREATMENT PLANT:


The treatment procedure has to be simple and effective to ensure right quality
of the product water. The treatment should ensure control of physical,
chemical and microbiological impurities.
Following process and equipment's have to be available for the treatment
plant.
1. Raw water tank:
100kl capacity tank 1- tank 2 ,it should be properly covered to prevent
exposure to direct sunlights
2. Ozonator for Raw water:
Raw water ozonation with adequate capacity ozonator should be done.

Page | 13
(Residual ozone of 0.4 to 0.6 ppm should be always maintained).

[Link]:
It consists of 2 steps - Sand filtration, for removal of course particles up to 30-
micron size. Activated Carbon filters, for removal of ozone, colour, odour and
taste.
3.1 PRESSURE SAND FILTER:

Sand filtration is commonly used as a pre-treatment to remove suspended


particles from raw water. The filtration medium consists of a multiple layer of
sand and gravel.
Raw water is first filtered by filtration unit in series prior feeding R.O. Plant.
Pressure Sand Filter Unit is provided for removal of suspended matters &
turbidity from raw water. PSF Unit is a vertical Pressure Vessel. Internally, itis
fitted with bottom collecting system. Uniform grades silica quartz sand is
charged on the supporting media of pebble sand gravels. This unit is fitted with
PVC frontal pipe work and Multiport/Butterfly Valve externally. During service
cycle water is passed in downward direction through sand bed, thus
entrapping suspended matter &turbid particles. Over a period of time, sand
bed gets choked due to suspended matters resulting in higher pressure drop
and lesser flow At this stage filter bed need to be backwashed. When pressure
drop across the sand bed increases beyond the specified limit (0.5kg/cm2) or
quality of filtered water determinates, whichever is earlier; regeneration
should be processed regeneration in valve backwash & rinsing of Sand bed.
Sand and Activated Carbon filters for removal of coarse suspended material,
foul odour, pesticide residues and organic matter i.e. VOC.
1 micron spun type non-woven filter to be installed before RO, to prevent
entry of any sand-carbon particles in RO membranes.
Capacity of sand filter and carbon filter should match with total RO feed flow.
3.2 ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER:
Activated carbon filter is used for de-ozonation, colour and dour removal, VOC
removal, removal of heavy
metals, BOD/COD reduction, pesticide residue and a number of other
applications.
Page | 14
3.3 DE-OZONISATION:
It is important to remove ozone from water since it is an oxidizing agent and
any oxidizing agent could damage the RO [Link] carbon will lose its
active sites due the adsorption of organics, oils and the physical blockage of
the poresdue to dirt particles. As a result, the effectiveness of the carbon bed
will progressively decrease and ozonecarryover will be observed in the out-
feed water and the carbon bed will have to be regenerated or replaced.
3.4 COLOUR AND ODOUR REDUCTION:
The colour and odour in water is due to the presence of organics. Activated
carbon is one of the best knownadsorbent for organics. When the water
containing organics is passed through the carbon bed, the organics are
adsorbed on the bed thus removing or reducing the colour and dour. In the
process of colour and odourremoval, carbon is acting as an [Link]
like type and quality of carbon, contact time between carbon and water as well
as bed depth play an important role. Carbon employed for colour and dour
removal will need frequent replacement as it will havelimited capacity to
adsorb the organic as the active sites get taken up by the organics.

Page | 15
3.4 Reverse Osmosis:
This technique is used to reduce the total dissolved solids and make the water
palatable. This process removes the excess quantity of salts, minerals. Reverse
osmosis is capable of rejecting bacteria, sugars, salts, proteins and other
constituents that have a molecular weight greater than 150-250 Daltons. The
separation of ions with R.O, is aided by charged particles. This means that
dissolved ions that carry a charge are more likely to be rejected by the
membrane, than those that are not charged, such as organics. The larger the
charge, the larger the particle, the more likely it will be rejected.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF R.O.:
Reverse Osmosis (R. O.) is the process in which water is forced by high pressure
through a semi permeable membrane. When pressure is applied to the
concentrated solution, water is forced through the membrane from the
concentrated side to the dilute side. This is just the opposite of osmosis where
the water would flow from the less concentrated side to the high
concentration side. The membrane allows the water to flow through, but
restricts the impurities such as dissolved ionic material. The rejection of the
dissolved ionic material is function of both, molecular weight and ionic charge.
For example, we can expect a nominal 90% rejection of sodium chloride. The
rejection of calcium carbonate (hardness) will be near 95%, while most metallic
salts are rejected at the rate of 98 to 99%. The rejection of non-ionic and
organic material is mainly a function of the pre-treatment, which includes the
micron filters that precede the R.O plant.
Based on the characteristics of source water, a suitable RO system should be
installed.
Preferably RO system should contain online meters for pH, TDS and ORP. It
should also be provided with dump valve and auto flushing system.

3.5 Mineralisation:
Minerals (Potassium bicarbonate and Magnesium sulphate) should be
prepared in SS 316 tank on daily basis
REQUIREMENTS:
0-6 lit/hrs. Capacity dosing pumps - 1 no. (Metering pump)

Page | 17
3.6 Holding tank
Holding tank of suitable capacity for storage of product water should be
available.
A set of 0.45 Micron pleated absolute filter to be installed to ascertain the
effectiveness of the water

Page | 18
3.7 MICRON FILTRATION
Product water ozonation with adequate capacity ozonator should be done.
(Residual ozone of 0.2 to 0.3 )
These are used mainly to ascertain the effectiveness of the System. The Micron
filters should be 5 micron
spun type (non-woven) for pre RO filtration and 0.45 Micron absolute
polypropylene pleated types for post RO section. Depending upon the pressure
drop and level of contamination filters need to be discarded and replaced with
new filters. The minimum frequency for replacement of pre RO filters is
monthly and post RO filters is quarterly.

Page | 19
3.8 FINAL OZONISATION:
one way and 0.3 to 0.4 ppm for two way pack should be always maintained).
Ozone is a powerful disinfectant and used at final stage of treatment. It is used
mainly to disinfect empty containers, especially returnable jars. The ozone in
the sealed bottle ensures the bottle; cap as well as the head space (the air
above the water in the bottle) gets sterilized. Ozone also helps maintain the
sterility of the water during filling and the shelf life of the product.

PEST CONTROL PROGRAM

To provide standards on Pest Management Program for plants by Use of


at approved licensed professional pest from use of least toxic pest
control techniques and products at also provide guidelines to prevent
cross determination of products with pesticides while application, for
pest control activity.

SCOPE

Must be followed by all Packaged Drinking water manufacturing


facilities.

5.1 POLICY

1. General
Good hygiene practices are being employed to avoid creating an
environment conductive to pests. Good sanitation, inspection of
incoming materials and effective monitoring can minimize the likelihood
of infestation and thereby limit the need for pesticides.

[Link] control treatment should be done to control flies / insects,


rodents, birds and other pests. Insecticides are used carefully to avoid
any chance contamination with product water, source water or contact
equipment.

[Link] production area should be free from any pests such as rodents,
insects, flies, cockroaches, birds, etc. Adequate numbers of Fly catchers
are present in the plant. Fumigation of plant to be done as per schedule
to avoid microbial contamination.

[Link] pest control activities should be done by expert pest control


contractor. Details of chemicals being used along with MSDS are
available.

Page | 34
5. Plant interiors if using a trap or bait devices will use only glue traps or
non-toxic physical methods. The dead destroyed pests will be captured
and removed from site by Pest Control Contractor after recording
the relevant data in the log sheets.
6. No pesticides shall be applied on to the pallets.

7. No pesticides shall be applied to finished products.

8. The pest control activity shall be carried out only during non-
production hours.

9. Records duly signed by applicator and QA person must be maintained


every time an application of pesticide is carried out.

Preventing Access:

 Buildings should be kept in good repair and condition to prevent pest


access and to eliminate potential breeding sites.

 Holes, drains and other places where pests are likely to gain access
should be kept sealed. Where sealing Is not possible (e.g. open windows,
doors and ventilators) measures like wire mesh screens are be in place
to reduce the problem of pest entry.

 Birds/ animals should be excluded from the grounds of factories and


processing plants.
Harbourage and Infestation:
 Potential product sources should be stacked above the ground and away
from walls.
 Areas both inside and outside product premises should be clean.
Monitoring and Documentation:
 Records should be available to demonstrate the pest control activities and
bait replacements.
Eradication:

Page | 35
 Pest infestations should be dealt with immediately and carried out
without posing a threat to the safety or suitability of product.

COVID19 PRECAUTUION TAKEN BY BISLERI

IMPACT OF COVID-19
Funding sources. Water utilities’ operations are typically funded by customer
receipts (comprising water tariffs and one-off connection charges), grants, and
taxes. Tariffs are often set to achieve socio-political objectives at levels that are
insufficient to recover operating costs. Therefore, the water utilities require
support from other sources, usually the government budget. Additional
revenue pressures come from inefficient operations such as high non-revenue
water (leakages, water theft, uncollected revenues), which exceeds 40 percent
in several emerging market economies. Capital expenditures are mostly funded
through borrowing and public financing, with private capital covering a small
share of capital expenditure.
With a few exceptions, the outbreak of COVID-19 is projected to slow down
investments in the water sector worldwide. It has also increased the
importance of operational reliability due to the cost of disruption. These
operational needs derive from shifts in demand patterns, supply disruptions,
and the various emergency measures employed by governments to cope with
the pandemic.
The world’s poorest received the COVID-19 shock on top of existing major
urban water and sanitation services deficits, all pointing towards a potentially
overwhelming burden to contain the virus. Low access, reliability, and the
quality of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) present risks in developing
countries. Large cities also face risks stemming from population density and
informal settlements. A recent World Bank tool for identifying pandemic
“hotspots” pointed to the cramped living conditions of cities and inadequate
public services, especially inadequate waste management and sanitation, as
significant sources of risk for contagions in large developing market cities, such
as Cairo and Mumbai.

BISLERI BOTTLES FOR A CHANGE

Bottles for change aims to create awareness that used plastic is


not waste. It has value , it is reyclable.
Plastic is a miraculous material that we invented from
petroleum derivatives. Recycled plastic can be converted into
polyester which is used to manufacture Shoes, T-shirts, bags,
chairs etc., thereby causing less strain on natural resources. The
only problem with plastic is its irresponsible human handling in
its disposing. We recognize how well plastic can work for us &
you if utilized properly. Keeping this in mind, we launched
‘Bottles for Change’.

India consumes 13 million tons of plastic every year, out of


which 60% is recycled. Rest 40% of plastic majorly contains
non-recyclable items like Wrappers, Plastic bags, Milk pouches,
Multilayer chips packets etc. These plastics can be recycled
several times but there are hardly any efforts made because of
their lightness & dirtiness. They are dumped in dump yards to
lie there forever and cause problems for the environment.
The plastic recycling process refers to the processing of plastic
and turning it into a new item altogether. It includes cleaning
the plastic, cutting it into flakes and then melting it at high
temperature for moulding it for desirable use.

On October 4th, 2015, Bisleri entered the Guinness World
Records and Limca Bookof Records for collecting highest
number of PET bottles for recycling, through a school contact
programme reaching out to over 2 lakh students
