In the third phase of biological treatment combined with air oxidation using organisms present in the waste-water after sedimentation all the 11 samples (100 %) characterized for
biological oxygen demand (BOD) Parameter were in the limits of National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) and were suitable for disposal into the local water bodies.
If propylene glycol then ends up in lakes and rivers it can significantly increase the
biological oxygen demand meaning that aquatic organisms including fish that also require oxygen can suffer.
The chemical factors determined include salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO) and
biological oxygen demand ([BOD.sub.5]).
Organic compounds add
biological oxygen demand (BOD) and are of particular concern as they are eventually broken down chemically or biochemically.
Water samples were taken from the sites and the different selected parameters were used for water analysis including pH,
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chloride and Sulphate.
In technical terms it is referred to as high
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), which robs the waters of its life-sustaining capacity.

The Blackstone River is on the state's list of impaired water bodies owing to high
biological oxygen demand and suspended solid readings, which come mostly from wastewater treatment effluents and urban runoff and heavy metals from industrial waste, according to Donna Williams, conservation advocacy coordinator at Massachusetts Audubon's Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary and Conservation Center.
The HiPAF system, working in conjunction with a tertiary sand filter, produces treated effluent with
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) level sub 10mg/l and Suspended Solids (SS) level sub 10mg/l.
A leading manufacturer of decaffeinated and specialty teas reduces
biological oxygen demand (BOD) levels with a liquid solid separator.
It is also possible to use TOC to monitor CBOD (carbonatious
Biological Oxygen Demand).
