2001年3月至11月，为期两天的综合过滤设备性能评估 建成了45座小型系统快速砂滤地表水处理厂 （WTP）。这些评估是基于美国环境保护局综合报告改编的格式 绩效评估（CPE）计划。该项目确定了许多设计方案 可能限制处理厂性能的缺陷。有几个 大多数核电站常见的设计问题都经过了审查，可以很容易地得到纠正 通过更好的设计或建造工厂。在大多数情况下，这些限制可能会 也可以在现有WTP中进行修正，只需稍作修改。 小型水处理厂的许多设计缺陷也适用于大型水处理厂 WTPs。这些局限性在当地小公司和大公司设计的WTP中都可以看到 国内和国际公司。虽然这种积极主动的方法存在局限性， 被评估的电厂运行时没有已知的健康问题。 这些评估的目的是审查现有的电厂运行情况，并提出建议 改善供水系统的性能，为不到10000人提供服务。 对45个小型系统表面进行了过滤设备性能评估（FPPEs） 使用快速过滤的水处理厂。FPPEs由以下人员完成: 审查历史浊度数据，进行现场考察，评估设计、运行， 以及每个水处理厂的维护。 每次访问都包括一次全面的回顾 从取水口到配水入口的设施 系统包括表格、数字。

From March to November 2001, two-day comprehensive filter plant performance evaluations were completed for forty-five small system rapid sand filter surface water treatment plants (WTP). These evaluations were based on a format adapted from the EPA Comprehensive Performance Evaluation (CPE) program. This program identified numerous design deficiencies that had the potential to limit treatment plant performance. There were several design issues common to the majority of plants reviewed and could have easily be corrected through better design or construction of the plants. In most instances, these limitations could also be corrected in existing WTPs with minor modifications. Many of the design deficiencies seen in the small WTPs are also applicable to larger WTPs. These limitations were seen in WTPs designed both by small local firms and large national and international firms. While limitations were identified in this proactive approach, the plants evaluated were operating with no known health problems. The purpose of these evaluations was to review existing plant operations and to suggest improvements to enhance the performance of water systems serving less than 10,000 people. Filter Plant Performance Evaluations (FPPEs) were performed on 45 small system surface water treatment plants that utilized rapid-rate filtration. FPPEs were accomplished by reviewing historical turbidity data, conducting site visits and evaluating the design, operation, and maintenance of each water treatment plant. Each visit included a comprehensive review of the facilities, from the intake of the water supply to the entry point of the distribution system. Includes tables, figures.
