Whilst most commonly associated with the monitoring of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), the OxiTop system can be used for many types of respirometric testing including OECD biodegradability tests, soil respiration and biogas testing. The classical OxiTop heads have been around for many years and are tried and tested. This year, they have been modernised with two new groups of heads being releas...
A chemical oxygen demand (COD) test is used to measure the amount of organic compounds in a water sample. It measures the capacity of water to consume oxygen during the decomposition of organic matter and the oxidation of inorganic chemicals such as Ammonia and nitrate. You can see a video on the common method of testing COD with vials in our video here. The start of the COD testing meth...
The new BD600 BOD measurement system from Lovibond replaced their Oxidirect system in 2015 and has proved to be a popular tool amongst users with it's handy remote control and built in graph features. But did you know that the system is also mercury free? [caption id="attachment_6963" align="aligncenter" width="300"] The new BD600 BOD system from Lovibond[/caption] The modern integral ...
Biochemical Oxygen demand (BOD) is an important parameter in water resource management to measure the quality of water and treatment results in wastewater treatment facilities.
In routine applications BOD determination is used to check the waste water in the inflow and discharge effluent of waste water treatment plants. Depending on the measurement site and the type of discharge BOD values c...
The Oxidirect BOD measurement system has been replaced by Lovibond's new BD600 system, which has a range of additional features [caption id="attachment_6963" align="aligncenter" width="501"] The new BD600 BOD system from Lovibond[/caption] Principle of measurement The BD600 BOD system offers a manometric, respirometric BOD measurement. The oxygen consumed by microorganisms in a clo...
Ask the expert:Â What are the differences between Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)?
Answer: Both COD and BOD test methods aim to give an indication of the amount of pollution in a water sample. COD is the amount of oxygen required to chemically breakdown the pollutants. Whereas BOD is the amount of oxygen required to do this biologically through micro-organisms. T...
