The diagram illustrates the process by which carbonated soft drinks are produced, from the initial water-cleaning stage to the final packaging and transportation stage.

Overall, the process consists of five main stages, beginning with the treatment of row water and culminating with the transportation of the packaged drinks to supermarkets. While water undergoes several stages of filtering and filling, the process ultimately water is transported to supermarkets.

Initially, the raw water undergoes a cleaning process. In this step, water is passed through a filter and also some kinds of chemicals are added to the water. Following this, heating, cooling and carbonation which is water cooled by cooling pipe and electrical heaters, the carbonated water is then transferred to the mixing stage. The mixture is then filtered before being used to fill bottles and cans.

Finally, the filled bottles and cans are packed into boxes and transported by truck to supermarket. The completed water is then transported, making the end of the process.
