This page is for sachet water, bottled water and treatment-plant buyers who need a technical quotation, not a guessed price. If your site also includes refrigeration or storage, compare with the cold-room guide and the broader factory application guidance.
Why water factories are easy to undersize
Some buyers add up only the steady running load and forget the starting effect of pumps, compressors and line motors. That can make the chosen generator look cheaper on paper but unstable in real operation.
If the project is still early, it helps to state whether the generator will support only outage backup or daily production use. That difference changes the most practical quotation path.
Load details that matter most
A clean industrial RFQ separates process loads instead of mixing everything into one estimate.
| Factory load item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Borehole or transfer pumps | Pump motor starting current often drives the minimum generator size. |
| Air compressor | Compressor start-up can be more demanding than its normal running kW. |
| Filling and sealing line | Packaging machines should be separated from pump and treatment loads. |
| Water treatment system | Filters, dosing and process panels may need stable support during transfer. |
| Expansion plan | If future lines or tanks are planned, mention them before selecting the set. |
How to send a factory RFQ
Send motor data for the largest pumps, compressor size, line equipment list, daily runtime, preferred transfer method and whether you need silent or open type. Industrial buyers should also say if the site wants room installation or outdoor canopy installation.
For city-specific distribution or project comparison, the Port Harcourt supplier page can be used together with this application page. For landed logistics, use the CIF Lagos guide or the more detailed FOB vs CIF comparison.
Hello, I need a generator quote for a water factory project in Nigeria. Factory type: [sachet water/bottled water/treatment plant], main pumps or motors: [ ], compressor: [ ], runtime: [ ], ATS: [yes/no], delivery: [CIF Lagos/FOB China].

Can a water factory generator be sized only from total running kW?
Not safely. Borehole pumps, compressors, blowers and filling-line motors can create starting demand that changes the recommended generator size.
Should water treatment equipment and packaging machines be listed separately?
Yes. Separating pumps, treatment loads, compressors, packaging machines and office loads makes the quotation more accurate.
Is ATS useful for water factories in Nigeria?
Often yes, especially where water processing, filling or pumping should resume quickly after utility failure.
