The parameter that decides
COD is the headline organic load figure for discharge consents, treatment plant control and incoming water checks.
C.O.D Device
Measure chemical oxygen demand reliably for water and wastewater compliance
Chemical oxygen demand is the parameter regulators and treatment plants use to judge the oxidisable organic load in water and wastewater, and it is the number that decides whether an effluent can be discharged. A COD determination set-up digests the sample in sealed tubes in a thermostatic reactor, then measures the result colorimetrically or by titration. Beckman Egypt supplies COD instrumentation together with the tubes and reagents, and will specify the configuration against your sample throughput and reporting requirements.
Key benefits
Sealed-tube digestion
Digestion in sealed tubes keeps the reagent and the sample contained from start to finish.
Batch a day's samples
A reactor block digests a batch of tubes in one run, so a day's samples are reported together rather than one by one.
Defensible reporting
Results traceable to a recognised COD method give your discharge and quality reports something to stand on.
Reagents and consumables
We supply the tubes and reagents alongside the instrument, so the method does not stop for a missing consumable.
