6-Sample Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Analyzer - 0-4000 mg/L, Manometric
Quick Overview
The 6-sample Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) analyzer utilizes the manometric differential-pressure method to measure BOD in water and wastewater. With a measuring range of 0 to 4000 mg/L, it supports test periods from 1 to 30 days, including standard BOD5 analysis. Results can be monitored during or after testing, while stored BOD5 data remains accessible for up to 10 years.
Product Description
This BOD analyzer is engineered for precise determination of Biochemical Oxygen Demand in water and wastewater samples. BOD serves as a critical indicator for evaluating organic pollution levels and assessing wastewater treatment facility efficiency.
The instrument employs a closed-system manometric methodology. Microorganisms consume oxygen within the sample while producing carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is absorbed by sodium hydroxide, generating a measurable pressure change that is converted into accurate BOD results in mg/L.
Key Features:
- Measuring range: 0 to 4000 mg/L (adjustable via sample volumes)
- Simultaneous testing capacity: Up to six samples in 580 mL culture bottles
- Configurable measurement periods: 1 to 30 days
- Real-time result monitoring during standard five-day tests
- Optimal testing temperature: 20 ±1°C
- Extended data storage: BOD5 results retained for 10 years
- Backlit display with integrated date and time functions
The standard package includes the analyzer base unit, test terminals, six 580 mL culture bottles, stirrer, chemical cups, and culture bottle holder. Users should adhere to selected BOD methodologies and applicable laboratory safety protocols when handling samples and sodium hydroxide.
