BioSens For quick measurement of BOD

21st February 2013Delhi

Forbes Marshall

HAPPILY INTRODUCES…

Conventional BOD method

Waste-water sample containing organic matter in BOD bottles

Diluted with dilution water

Seeded with seeding material (source of microbes)

Incubated in a BOD incubator for 3/5 days at 27oC

Before & after incubation DO is measured

On the basis of DO difference BOD is calculated

Disadvantages of BOD3

• Blind period of 3 days

• Person dependent

measuring technique

• Use of chemicals which will

add to effluent load

• Difficulties faced in reuse of

waste water

Not any more…

Forbes Marshall in Technical collaboration

with IGIB/CSIR lab introduces a Quick and

effective BOD measuring system

BioSens

Biosensor

Measuring Unit

Control Unit

BioSens

• Reduction in measuring time from 3/5 days to

40 minutes.

• No need of additional instruments like Incubator/Titration.

• Can go away from measurement of COD and its hassles of handling hazardous chemicals.

• Can arrest any disturbance in manufacturing process with quick BOD measurement of influent.

Benefits of BioSens

• Quick BOD measurement would give

confidence while recycling water.

• Saving in terms of storage space for effluent and from reuse of water.

• Can produce results for Pollution checking authorities and even can transfer results directly on their Web server.

Benefits of BioSens

• Sewage treatment plants

• Paper

• Dairy/Food products

• Beverage

• Pharmaceutical

Industries tested…
