BOD/COD Monitoring

Detect events rapidly to improve process control and ensure effluent goals are obtained. UviTec real-time BOD/COD monitoring solutions can provide significant cost savings.

Innovative UviTec BOD and COD sensors utilize patent-pending and proprietary technology for superior measurement performance across multiple wavelengths of light using UV LEDs.

Many compounds absorb light in the UV-VIS spectrum including organics. The sensors measures organics in a multi-dimensional way that results in improved correlations to water quality parameters such as BOD, COD and TOC.

ABB offers both a submersible UviTec BOD/COD probe and UviTec bypass BOD/COD sensor options to allow the right selection for your needs. Multiple path length options are also available to ensure you have the detection range that meets your wastewater monitoring demands.

The UviTec bypass BOD/COD sensor is a cabinet style instrument installed directly on a wall, railing or system backboard. Sample is supplied to the sensor from a pressurized source or from an open-channel using a pump system.

UviTec BOD/COD Probe

Ideal for open channel / non-pressurized organics monitoring applications, the robust UviTec BOD/COD probe is a submersible instrument installed directly in-situ using a pole mounting or chain mounting kit.
