ABSTRACT
The paper presents a probabilistic analysis of an evaporator of a desalination plant. Multi stage
flash desalination process is being used for water purification. The desalination plant operates
round the clock with seven evaporators and during normal operation; six of these evaporators will
be in service while one is under maintenance and works as standby. Any major failure/annual
maintenance brings the evaporator to a complete halt and stops the water production. The priority
is given to repair over maintenance. For the present analysis, seven years maintenance data has
been extracted from the operations and maintenance reports of the plant.Measures of the plant
effectiveness have been obtained probabilistically. Semi-Markov processes and regenerative
point techniques are used in the entire analysis.
