Protect your assets with accurate BOD/COD monitoring

Protect your assets with accurate BOD/COD monitoring

BOD/COD Monitoring

High quality Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) data is the lifeblood of effective water management and treatment across many industries. This is due to them being the primary parameters for evaluating the organic strength of water and wastewater. 

Without rapid and reliable identification of changes in organic content and composition, industries and municipalities alike face potentially harmful outcomes in terms of water quality, operational health and increased costs as well as public impact. 

Now detection of these is available in seconds vs hours or days compared to traditional lab-based methods. Improving process control and ensuring effluent goals are obtained. UviTec real-time BOD/COD monitoring solutions can provide significant cost savings.
