Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) are two of the most important parameters to characterize (measure the degree of pollution) of wastewater.
BOD, the biological demand for oxygen a source of water has, is the amount of oxygen used by microorganisms to break down organic substances. These are usually bacteria (aerobic or anaerobic), yeasts and plankton contained in the water. It is a measure of the degree of contamination and is expressed in mgO2/L. It is measured via a delicate and time-consuming biological process, which depends on temperature. The standard measurement is performed at 20°C for 5 days and is called BOD5. The period of 5 days was chosen, as this is the average time it takes a British river to reach the sea.
In general terms, the greater the pollution, the higher the BOD. It provides a rough measure and some reference values for certain water types are as follows:

1. Pure: 2 – 20 mg/L
2. Slightly polluted: 20 – 100 mg/L
3. Moderately polluted: 100 – 500 mg/L
4. Highly polluted: 500 – 3,000 mg/L
5. Extremely polluted: 3,000 – 15,000 mg/L

COD, the chemical demand for oxygen a source of water has, is the amount of oxygen required to break down organic substances chemicallyand convert them to CO2 and H2O. It is also expressed in mgO2/L, and the higher the COD, the more polluted the water is. However, this test only takes about 3 hours, so much less time is needed for a result than for a BOD test. The COD in industrial water may be 50 – 2,000 mgO2/L, although it may reach 5,000, depending on the type of industry.

COD measures all organic material, while BOD only measures organic material which is or can be biologically degraded. Therefore, for a given water sample, the COD is always greater than the BOD, and the second result (COD), as the complete chemical oxidation of the sample, can be considered to include the first.
BOD and COD are related and maintain their relationship for each type of water. The relationship is not the same for different types of water; however, industrial water of the same type has a similar BOD/COD relationship.
By providing more information and being quicker to obtain, the COD is becoming the reference standard in the field.

BA-Smart UV-VIS is the new generation of immersion spectra analyzing sensor. It uses standardized spectra algorithms by taking the complete 200 to 720 nm absorption spectrum of water into account to determine the nitrogen and carbon compounds. BA-Smart UV-VIS' s spectrum compensation for light absorbing particles and turbidity provides a unique and high sensitivity approach that allows the
monitoring of dissolved organic substances without sample pre-treatment. BA-Smart UV-VIS gives reliable readings for NO3-N, NO2-N, organic ingredients (CODeq, BODeq, DOCeq, TOCeq), and a number of other parameters.
The validated spectral calibration by BA-Smart UV-VIS uses multiple wavelengths to monitor and compensate each sum parameter, which enables much more accurate and robust measurement than the single wavelength method. Using field special calibration that employs specific features of the absorption spectrum, it is even possible to distinguish various fractions of organic carbon groups. For
a specific application, the relevant calculation and calibration of desired parameters require their corresponding spectra and reference values obtained from the analytical chemistry lab. The spectral data plus one or more corresponding measured values are called reference value pair. The sensor uses the reference value pair and the proprietary spectral algorithm to perform calibration. the more
reference value pairs are provided; the more accurate calibration is given.
BA-Smart UV-VIS Sensor also enables applications in aggressive media (e.g. high chloride concentrations) thanks to the optional titanium housing.
Equipped with the BRASTEN View configuration, internal data logger, flexible protocols and data outputs, BA-Smart UV-VIS Sensor includes features that are much more advanced than those of comparable devices currently available on the market.
The unified platform of all BRASTEN photometers also facilitates a standardized spare parts and consumables system, which allows the use of a wide range of accessories for our devices.
Furthermore, the cutting-edge BRASTEN View enables quick integration into third-party systems.
BA-Smart UV-VIS can also be used for reliable low-cost color measurements. It uses Xenon Flash Light for long-term stable measurements of SAC or colors on UV to Vis Spectrum, BA-Smart UV-VIS choose the different wavelengths for Color measurements, and the absorption at 550nm is used for turbidity/background correction. The cutting-edge device platform, used in all other BRASTEN
photometers, enables optical path lengths of 10, 20, 50, and 100 mm, so that almost any application can be easily implemented.
The sensor can be submerged into water by mounting hardware or using flow cell for bypass installation.
Measurement path length is from 0.5 to 35 mm. There is a built-in purging nozzle for cleaning the test window by compressed air or pressurized water stream. There is also an optional clamp on wiper for automatic test window cleaning.

1. For horizontal installation (that is, the measurement window is in the vertical position), the plane of the measurement area should be in the vertical direction. This ensures that no sedimentation occurs on the optical window and also there is no air bubbles adhesion to the optical window. Properly use the sensor bracket or the bypass device can ensure the correct installation position.
2. In general, the vertical installation is not recommended (i.e. the measurement window is horizontal). If it has to be mounted vertically, make sure that the measuring medium is flowing or an automatic cleaning device is used to ensure that no particles are deposited on the lower part of the optical window and there is no air bubbles adhesion to the upper part of the optical window.
3. If the sensor will be installed into in the activated sludge aeration tank, the installation should be kept horizontal.
4. Flow rate: The flow rate of the measuring medium should be <3m/s to avoid cavitation. Otherwise, it will impact the measurement For the vertical installation, the medium flow rate should be >1m/s.
5. The suspended solids (sand) concentration should be <1g/L. It is recommended to install the sensor horizontally. It must be at least 10cm higher away from the bottom.
6. The probe housing is prohibited to directly contact with other materials to avoid possible corrosion.
7. The probe cable must be effectively protected to prevent it from being cut or damaged by other substances in water.
8. In the event of shallow water or low flow rates, the compressed air cleaning system may cause deposits around the measurement site (e.g. at the bottom of the waste water). In this case, the state of the medium to be measured does not represent the normal water quality parameters just after cleaning. To avoid this, the sensor should be installed in such a manner that the opening of the
   cleaning nozzle should be
