Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Measuring System, BD 600

The BD 600 BOD Measuring System is a respirometric system for determining Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Save time, reduce the potential for errors, and easily interpret data to help make process control decisions for your plant. The BD 600 BOD Measuring System is the ideal system for process control or as a secondary test to the Dilution Method. Using a respirometric system solves many of the issues associated with the dilution method for BOD analysis.

Significantly Reduced Sample Preparation

It's easy to begin collecting data—simply add a sample to the bottle, add nitrification inhibitor and place the sensor head on the bottle.

Operators Do Not Have to Be Present at the Completion of the Test

Measurements are automatically taken and stored at regular intervals and can be recalled at your convenience—no more weekend trips to the lab or plant!  

Easy And Quick Interpretation of Measurement Values

In addition to displaying the results of a sample directly in mg/L BOD, the large, integrated display can display the BOD curve, which makes it easy to see and understand measurement data points and trends. In addition, each sensor head has an integrated LED. This allows operators to confirm which sample the data is being displayed for visually and reduces potential confusion or errors over which sample data is presented.

Consistent Measurement Conditions

The Automatic Start Function ensures all measurements are taken at an equal sample temperature. When the measurement conditions are consistent across readings, operators do not have to worry about temperature or pressure fluctuations skewing results.

Sample Identification and Tracking

The BD 600 BOD Measuring System interface makes it easy to assign an identification code or sample name when setting up a new sample. This helps track a sample from the time it is collected and ensures traceability during sample measurement.  

Use the remote control

If using an incubator with a glass door, operators can use the supplied remote control to display measurement data for a sample—without even opening the door! This further ensures that samples stay at a consistent temperature, which is essential for accurate results.
