Biological oxygen demand (BOD) and depletion measuring instrument WTW

Biochemical oxygen demand BOD determination is still one of the most important parameters in water resource management. It can be used to evaluate the impact of biodegradable substances in waters and waster water. With its OxiTop® systems, WTW offers a unique, modular and mercury-free instrument system. It is not only suitable for BOD determination, but also for measuring biodegradability and depletion.


In the course of growing environmental consciousness, microbiological degradability tests have become increasingly important. These can be, for example, soil surveys from waste sites or environmental impact surveys for new chemical substances. The necessary respiration measurements for anaerobic or aerobic degradation can be easily carried out using the OxiTop®-C systems with excellent analysis. WTW offers a wide range of application specific packages with appropriate sample vessels.


The advantages of OxiTop® and OxiTop® Control: simple operation, improved controllability and non-toxicity, and measuring ranges of up to 400 000 mg/l BOD (with OxiTop® Control OC 110). As the measured pressure is automatically converted the values can be directly read as mg/l BOD
