Evaluating the reliability of treatment processes and treatment facilities should be an important part of the planning and design process for water resource, wastewater treatment, and particularly wastewater reuse projects. With the recent developments in technology, particularly the development of membrane processes and alternative disinfection processes for water and wastewater treatment, there is an increasing need for a common methodology to evaluate the reliability of alternative processes and treatment facilities that utilize different combinations of those processes. To assess the reliability of a treatment facility, several aspects of treatment must be considered including a methodical evaluation of both mechanical reliability and plant performance. A straightforward method for conducting these types of analyses is described herein along with a description of applications of this methodology. A discussion is provided highlighting the value of such a methodology for both the water quality engineer and the risk manager.
评估处理工艺和处理设施的可靠性，应成为水资源、污水处理，尤其是污水回用项目规划与设计过程的重要组成部分。随着技术的最新发展，特别是用于水和污水处理的膜工艺及替代消毒工艺的发展，越来越需要一种通用方法来评估利用这些工艺不同组合的替代工艺和处理设施的可靠性。为评估处理设施的可靠性，必须考虑处理的几个方面，包括对机械可靠性和工厂性能进行系统评估。本文介绍了进行这类分析的一种直接方法，并描述了该方法的应用。还进行了讨论，强调了这种方法对水质工程师和风险管理人员的价值。
