Mckee Aqua Purified

Refilling Station

ENGINEER’S REPORT

A. General Information

The Mckee Aqua Purified Refilling Station - Water Refilling Station is owned and
managed by Mr. Mark Anthony Mansueto Bayya. It is located at Tumbras, Midsayap,
North Cotabato. It is established to produce potable drinking water for commercial
purposes. The water to be produced by the establishment will be in 20-liter containers.
The product water is intended to be sold to clients within Midsayap and the
neighbouring areas. The source of raw water is the community water system which
produces safe water. The quantity of the raw water supply is adequate for the purpose
but the quality of the water is tested further to ensure that no contaminant enters the
piping system and it conforms to the minimum requirements set by the Philippine
National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW). The water is purified using the standard
multi-stage purification process.

B. Description of the Water Purification Process

The raw water taken from the community water system is made to enter a storage
tank and fed into the filtration machines. The water then passes thru multi-media silica
and carbon progression to remove foul taste and odour, discoloration, chlorine,
hydrogen sulphide and other remaining contaminants. It passes thru softening and
conditioning process using brine to convert hard water into soft water and remove
chemicals and pesticides. In this stage, the pH of the water is increased. The next unit is
a sediment depth filtration system consisting of two polishing carbon block filters and
one 1-micron cartridge type sediment filter which removes any microscopic particle that
might clog succeeding Reverse Osmosis membrane.

The next stage is the Reverse Osmosis System which utilizes a high quality semi-permeable
membrane that allows only pure water molecules to pass through and pushes the impure
water to the reverse side which is the reject drain line. It has a micron rating of 0.0001 ppm
and eliminates 98% total dissolved solids (TDS) and dissolved minerals. Product water now
goes to the holding tank.

From the holding tank, the water is made to pass thru a 5 micron post filter and a 1 micron
post filter where-in sediments up to 1 micron are removed. Finally, water is subjected to
sterilization process by means of ultra-violet radiation which systematically destroys the
capability of harmful microorganisms. The purified product water is now safe to drink.

Water is then placed in 20-liter containers to be sold and delivered to customers.

A. Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points Plan

In order to ensure the safety of the product water that conforms to the criteria
stipulated in the PNSDW, an analysis of the hazards and the critical control points where
contaminants may enter the water purification system is conducted. Attached is a plan
summarizing the areas of operation and the hazards critical control points with corresponding
monitoring system and corrective actions that may be instituted in the water purification
system.

C. Maintenance Program

1. Observe cleanliness, inside and outside the store.


2. Sanitize all equipment including flooring of the store.
3. Maintenance of filters:
a. Filters not designed for backwashing should be replaced as the need arises.
b. Filters designed for cleaning should be backwashed regularly.
4. Every morning, after cleaning the store, product water should be flushed at least
3 to 5 minutes.
5. All water storage facilities should be cleaned, drained and sanitized including
pressure tanks and product water tanks.
6. Always keep the brine tank full of salt; each regeneration should use up to 4 kg of
salt.
7. Fill up the daily maintenance form everyday.
8. A regular vermin abatement program shall be maintained.
