How Different is Different? The Traps and Pitfalls of Applying Statistics on System Performance Evaluation

Disinfection and Antimicrobial Processes

“…Charnas et al (2010) developed an objective and comprehensive approach to evaluate the UV design dose proposed by various UV manufacturers. Zhou et al (2010) presented an approach that would help environmental engineers and scientists avoid errors for their statistical data analysis during UV system performance evaluation. Virgadamo et al (2010) presented a case study that showed different procurement processes and assumptions made resulted in significantly different maintenance costs for UV systems at a treatment plant.…”
