    BOD measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms breaking down organic matter in water. It has two parts: carbonaceous BOD and nitrogenous BOD. The standard test period is 5 days at 20°C, measuring CBOD5. The ultimate BOD is the maximum that would be consumed with infinite time, and can be estimated using the CBOD curve and reaction rate constants. In an example, given a waste water's CBOD5 of 200 mg/L and reaction rate of 0.15, the ultimate BOD is calculated as 379.05 mg/L.

    BOD
    What is BOD?
    Biochemical oxygen demand represents the
    amount of oxygen consumed by bacteria
    and other microorganisms while they
    decompose organic matter under aerobic
    conditions at a specified temperature.
    It is expressed in milligram of oxygen
    required per liter of wastewater. (mg/L)
    • The BOD is made up of 2 parts:
    1. Carbonaceous Oxygen Demand (CBOD)
    2. Nitrogenous Oxygen Demand (NBOD)
    The carbonaceous stage, or first stage, represents that portion of oxygen
    demand involved in the conversion of organic carbon to carbon dioxide.

    The nitrogenous stage, or second stage, represents a combined


    carbonaceous plus nitrogenous demand, when organic nitrogen, ammonia,
    and nitrite are converted to nitrate. Nitrogenous oxygen demand generally
    begins after about 6 days. For some sewage, especially discharge from
    wastewater treatment plants utilizing biological treatment processes,
    nitrification can occur in less than 5 days if ammonia, nitrite, and nitrifying
    bacteria are present. In this case, a chemical compound that prevents
    nitrification should be added to the sample if the intent is to measure only
    the carbonaceous demand. The results are reported as carbonaceous BOD
    (CBOD), or as CBOD5 when a nitrification inhibitor is used.
    Graph of BOD(mg/L) VS Time (days)
    • The standard oxidation (or incubation) test
    period for BOD is 5 days at 20 degrees Celsius
    (°C) (BOD5).
    • The 5-day value, however, represents only a
    portion of the total biochemical oxygen
    demand. Twenty days is considered, by
    convention, adequate time for a complete
    biochemical oxidation of organic matter in a
    water sample, but a 20-day test often is
    impractical when data are needed to address
    an immediate concern.
    Ultimate BOD
    • The ultimate BOD () is defined as the maximum
    BOD exerted by the waste-Ultimate
    carbonaceous oxygen demand.
    • The CBOD oxygen demand curve can be
    expressed mathematically as:

    Where is the biochemical oxygen demand at time


    t, mg/L
    is the Ultimate BOD, mg/L
    K is the reaction time constants,
    Example:
    • The at 20 degrees Celsius of a waste water is
    found to be 200 mg/L. Taking K1 as 0.15 ,
    estimate the BODult . Determine
    • Solution:
    Given:
    • = 200mg/L
    • = 0.15
    => 200 =
    Þ= 379.05 mg/L

    Þ= 379.05 x
