Real-Time BOD & COD Monitoring – A Must for Modern Wastewater Management
In modern water management, water quality monitoring plays a crucial role in pollution control and environmental protection. One of the key indicators of treatment efficiency in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is the effective removal of biodegradable organic substances.
Why Monitor BOD & COD?
BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) represent the amount of oxygen required to break down organic materials in water.
High BOD/COD levels indicate elevated pollution caused by:
Plant debris & leaf fall
Urban runoff carrying pet waste, fertilizers, and household waste
Industrial discharge & untreated domestic waste
These sources lead to increased oxygen demand and environmental stress in natural water bodies.
The Problem with Conventional Testing
Traditional BOD testing methods require:
Sample collection
Lab-based analysis
5 to 7 days for results
This delay prevents timely intervention and fails to reflect real-time pollution levels.
The Solution: Real-Time BOD & COD Analyzers
ASE offers advanced water quality analyzers that allow:
Continuous, real-time monitoring of BOD and COD
Faster detection of treatment issues
Improved operational control and environmental compliance
Don’t wait 7 days to know there’s a problem. Monitor continuously and respond in time.
