Abstract
This study presents a robust framework for improving Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) operations using a Risk Priority Number (RPN) approach, integrated with an action plan to address the complexities involved in managing STPs. A study was conducted on 30 MLD STP plant focusing on quantitative assessments for metrological enhancement of reliability and efficiency of components. 37 critical components and implementable actionable solutions that significantly enhance the plants’ performance are identified. The study demonstrated the average improvement of 61.1% in the availability of STP operations. The mathematical modeling, accurate measurements provided by metrology and quality related issues like FMEA, offer valuable insights into the optimization of STP operations, ensuring sustainable and economical viable wastewater management solutions. Additionally, the research framework confirms that the treated water quality complies with regulatory standards, including turbidity and contamination levels.
期刊介绍:
MAPAN-Journal Metrology Society of India is a quarterly publication. It is exclusively devoted to Metrology (Scientific, Industrial or Legal). It has been fulfilling an important need of Metrologists and particularly of quality practitioners by publishing exclusive articles on scientific, industrial and legal metrology.
The journal publishes research communication or technical articles of current interest in measurement science; original work, tutorial or survey papers in any metrology related area; reviews and analytical studies in metrology; case studies on reliability, uncertainty in measurements; and reports and results of intercomparison and proficiency testing.
