Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is an important parameter for determining the amount of organic pollution in wastewater. Frequent monitoring of oxygen demand within any type of wastewater treatment system is beneficial to detect problem areas, efficiencies, or overloading. COD testing has an advantage over Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing in that it is quicker than […]
