Risk Management of Wastewater Treatment in the Wastewater Treatment Plant of PT. X

Abstract

The economic rise as much as 5.5% in East Java region in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, was due to the main supporting factor of an increase in the number of industries. An increase in industry has the potential to cause environmental pollution, especially in water bodies as evidenced by an index of water quality conditions for East Java rivers that now stands on Class II. Currently, PT. X in East Java is working on the expansion of its company. This study aims to identify the risks of wastewater treatment of PT. X using the fishbone analysis method and determine the priority of failures that must be handled using the FMEA method.For research purposes, two types of data are used, namely secondary and primary data. Secondary data includes flow chart of wastewater treatment, wastewater quality report and standard operating procedures. Meanwhile, the primary data for the quality of wastewater treatment was obtained through sampling, which was carried out at each wastewater treatment unit as well as the results of questionnaire with direct interviews. From those two types of data, an analysis of the potential occurrence of risk arises by using a fishbone analysis diagram. The risk results obtained through fishbone analysis are then processed using the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method to obtain a Risk Priority Number (RPN). Then, the results of risk analysis from fishbone analysis are assessed into a priority of failures, expressed in Risk Priority Number (RPN).Based on the analysis of research data, it was concluded that the problem that occurred in wastewater treatment was inefficient wastewater treatment. The inefficient process was caused by the WWTP design conditions that were greater than the inlet discharge. Based on the results of data processing using the FMEA method, it was found that the largest RPN value was 125.

SARS-CoV-2 removal by mix matrix membrane: A novel application of artificial neural network based simulation in MATLAB for evaluating wastewater reuse risks

“…Processes must be carried out efficiently to achieve a goal as part of this management. Risk management reduces potential risks as well as pre-analysis, prediction, and control ( Shinta et al, 2019 ). Consequently, risk management is necessary to reduce the probability of failure and provide convenience for dealing with potential risks.…”

Research on Safety Evaluation of Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant Based on Improved Best-Worst Method and Fuzzy Comprehensive Method

“…Lin [23] used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate the risk of a sewage treatment plant. Shinta et al [24] used a fishbone diagram to analyze potential risks and Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) to evaluate risks. Alizadeh et al [25] used the Fuzzy Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FFMEA) method to identify, evaluate and prioritize the risks of screening and sand removal unit operations in a municipal sewage treatment plant in Iran.…”
