Abstract

Background: The microbiological quality of municipal water is an important inspection characteristic that must be carefully monitored and controlled to ensure the delivery of acceptable water that is safe for human activities, consumption and further processing. Case presentation: The current case demonstrated the implementation of a special type of attribute control chart for the examination and analysis of long-term data trends of water distribution in a healthcare facility from different pints-of-use. All datasets showed a right-skewed dispersion pattern of data indicating solitary intermittent high values but without any observable Out-Of-Specification (OOS). All water lines failed to follow any known distribution pattern without the need for transformation which had improved the normality and removed the outliers from datasets. The direct approach for visualizing the record of microbiological results was accomplished using Laney-attribute charts. Discussion: Each use point had its unique trend of data by visualizing the mean, pattern, the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the alarm types. The net quality of the water distribution system in the facility could be deduced from the overall readings that had been averaged and pooled in a single process-behavior chart. Implementation of this trending chart showed a tendency of oscillation pattern for bioburden count that tended to seize in amplitude with possible signs of seasonality. Conclusion: In general, the overall biological stability is improving with time in terms of the Total Microbial Aerobic Count (TAMC). The Bioburden level and the magnitude of fluctuations were decreasing according to the latest monitoring state.

Özet

Arka plan: Belediye suyunun mikrobiyolojik kalitesi, insan faaliyetleri, tüketimi ve sonraki işlemler için güvenli kabul edilebilir suyun teslim edilmesini sağlamak için dikkatle izlenmesi ve kontrol edilmesi gereken önemli bir inceleme özelliğidir. Vaka sunumu: Mevcut vaka, farklı kullanım noktalarından bir sağlık tesisinde su dağıtımına ilişkin uzun vadeli veri eğilimlerinin incelenmesi ve analizi için özel bir tür nitelik kontrol çizelgesinin uygulanmasını göstermiştir. Tüm veri kümeleri, tek aralıklı yüksek değerleri gösteren, ancak herhangi bir gözlemlenebilir Spesifikasyon Dışı (OOS) olmaksızın sağa çarpık bir veri dağılım modeli gösterdi. Tüm satırlar, normalliği iyileştiren ve veri kümelerinden aykırı değerleri kaldıran dönüşüme ihtiyaç duymadan bilinen herhangi bir dağıtım modelini takip edemedi. Mikrobiyolojik sonuçların kaydını görselleştirmeye yönelik doğrudan yaklaşım, Laney öznitelik çizelgeleri kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tartışma: Her kullanım noktası, ortalamayı, düzeni, Üst Kontrol Limitini (UCL) ve alarm türlerini görselleştirerek kendine özgü veri eğilimine sahipti. Tesisteki su dağıtım sisteminin net kalitesi, ortalaması alınan ve tek bir süreç-davranış çizelgesinde bir araya getirilen genel okumalardan çıkarılabilir. Bu eğilim grafiğinin uygulanması, olası mevsimsellik belirtileriyle birlikte genlikte tutulma eğiliminde olan biyolojik yük sayımı için bir salınım modeli eğilimi gösterdi. Sonuç: Genel olarak, toplam biyolojik stabilite, Toplam Mikrobiyal Aerobik Sayım (TAMC) açısından zamanla iyileşir. Biyolojik yük seviyesi ve dalgalanmaların büyüklüğü en son izleme durumuna göre düşüyordu.
