BOD Systems

Xylem Analytic’s range of Biochemical Oxygen Demand systems are designed for measuring the quality of water bodies and the efficiency of water treatment plants, by determining the degradation of carbons.

• Using the BOD₅  method, the concentration of D.O. will be measured in diluted samples before and after incubation
• When performing the “BOD self-check measurement” in a closed respirometer the absorption of the carbon leads to a gaugeable pressure change. In both cases the samples have to be incubated for 5 days at 20°C
• UV-VIS sensors for constant, up-to-date monitoring of WWTP effluents of municipal wastewater have the possibility to measure BOD as well
• Tests on bio-degradation like soil respiration or bio-degradability of new chemicals can easily be carried out using OxiTop^®-IDS systems
