Understanding BOD and COD in Wastewater Treatment

Novair USAArticles, Knowledge Center, Oxygen Generators, Waste Water Treatment

What are BOD and COD? In the field of wastewater treatment, two parameters are essential for assessing organic pollution: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) BOD measures the amount of oxygen consumed by micro-organisms to break down biodegradable organic matter in water. This measurement is generally taken over 5 days at 20°C in …
