RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System 6 - BOD The compact, reliable, cloud-enabled solution for BOD determination and aerobic respirometric tests. Biochemical Oxygen Determination BOD The VELP RESPIROMETRIC Sensor BOD is designed to provide a smart and cloud-enabled solution to laboratories of water and wastewater quality control. BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) Determination is a simple and easy way for monitoring the microorganisms’ activity in water samples with extremely reliable results. In particular, microorganisms present or inoculated in a water sample containing biodegradable organic substance, consume oxygen for their metabolic activity and produce a corresponding volume of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide gets absorbed by a strong alkali positioned in the neck of the bottle. The result of this process is a decrease in gas pressure. The BOD measures this change in gas pressure between the beginning to the end of the analysis and gives a result expressed in mg/l . Easy-to-use and Powerful • The bright 4-digit LED display ensures long battery life in respect of other sensors in the market. • Intuitive 2 button interface to facilitate the analysis set up. • Pressure range: 500 ÷ 2000 mbar (hPa). • Results available in BOD (mg/l) and Pressure (mbar). • BOD Scales: 90, 250, 600, 1000, 4000, Higher values after dilution. • Automatic pressure results conversion in BOD. Unique wireless control: DataBox™ and RESPIROSOFT™ Software The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor transmits data directly to the PC enabling real-time monitoring of the analysis curve.
