BOD Analyzer and Control System

The BOD Analyzer and Control System measures the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) in any water or wastewater process. Given the huge numbers of organic compounds in water, it is practically impossible to identify and measure each one individually. Instead of analyzing individual substances, a fast and precise way to rate water quality is to measure sum parameters – this is especially helpful in the case of online monitoring.

The BOD Analyzer and Control System is a continuous, online controller that is the perfect solution for monitoring the contamination of water or wastewater. RealTech Controls offers the ETX analyzer system combined with the UV254 sensor for accurately and reliably determining the equivalent BOD, TOC, or COD in water.

BOD Analyzer

Description

The Model UV80 with the UV254 Sensor utilizes state of the art UV 254nm optical absorbance technology to measure organics in water.

Many dissolved organic substances have spectral characteristics capable of absorbing UV light at the wavelength of 254 nm. A UV source produces UV light radiation that passes through the optical path. The receiver analyzes the UV pulses at two different wave lengths, a measurement wavelength (254 nm) and a reference wavelength which is not influenced by the presence of organic compounds. This results in accurate, repeatable measurements which can be read as a scalable mA value.

Abbreviations:
TOC = Total Organic Carbon
COD = Chemical Oxygen Demand
