Mitigation of Risks at the Stages of the Life Cycle of Wastewater Treatment Plants
摘要
This study analyzes the key risks associated with the life cycle of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), including environmental, technical and economic aspects. Based on the analysis of design, construction, operation and decommissioning stages, a risk management assessment system is proposed. Case studies of Russian industrial facilities demonstrate that early risk assessment in accordance with ISO standards reduces operating costs by 40%. Integration of proactive (pilot testing) and reactive (monitoring systems) measures increases system sustainability. A comprehensive study of the effectiveness of the investment project for the reconstruction of treatment facilities was conducted. The results of the study can be applied to improve environmental safety and economic sustainability of industrial enterprises.
