Measurement and instruction functions of the BD 600 system
28 Apr 2024
The BD 600 from Lovibond is a complete system for the precise measurement of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). It is a manometric respirometer, which relates oxygen uptake to the change in pressure caused by oxygen consumption while maintaining a constant volume. Modern integral pressure sensors have removed the need to use mercury for the measurements. The BD 600 is user-friendly and can be programmed for a measurement period of 1–28 days. Its large brilliant graphic display can help the user to easily interpret data to make decisive process control decisions and reduce the potential for errors.
