Study Notes

BOD Test Overview

BOD test cases include sample only, sample with dilution, and sample with seed
BOD measures loss of biodegradable organic matter (oxygen demand)
BOD is calculated using initial and final dissolved oxygen levels
Seeding provides micro-organisms for oxidation, not required for some wastes
Settled sewage can be used for seeding
BOD test involves placing sample in a 300ml BOD bottle, incubating for 5 days at 20°C
BOD is calculated using the difference in dissolved oxygen concentration values
BOD can be determined using a formula involving dissolved oxygen values
A large percentage of total BOD is exerted in 5 days
BOD reactions are modeled using a first-order function
The temperature for determining BOD is usually 20°C
The limitations of BOD include the requirement for a high concentration of active, acclimated seed bacteria
