BOD and COD in Water Quality
Assessment
Importance and Applications in
Environmental Engineering
Your Name, College, Date
Introduction
• - Water quality assessment is essential for
environmental management.
• - Organic pollutants in water affect aquatic
ecosystems and human health.
• - BOD and COD are key parameters for
measuring water pollution levels.
What is BOD?
• - BOD stands for Biochemical Oxygen Demand.
• - It measures the oxygen required by
microorganisms to break down organic matter
in water.
• - Standard measurement period: 5 days
(BOD5).
• - Higher BOD indicates more organic pollution.
What is COD?
• - COD stands for Chemical Oxygen Demand.
• - It measures the oxygen required to oxidize
organic and inorganic matter in water
chemically.
• - Faster than BOD measurement.
• - Indicates both biodegradable and non-
biodegradable pollution.
Key Differences Between BOD and
COD
• BOD:
• - Biological process.
• - Measures biodegradable organic matter.
• - Requires 5 days for measurement.
• COD:
• - Chemical process.
• - Measures total organic matter
(biodegradable and non-biodegradable).
Why Are BOD and COD Important?
• - Indicators of water pollution levels.
• - Help assess the efficiency of wastewater
treatment processes.
• - Aid in regulatory compliance for industries.
• - Protect aquatic ecosystems and public
health.
Measurement of BOD
• 1. Collect water sample.
• 2. Add microorganisms to the sample.
• 3. Incubate at 20°C for 5 days.
• 4. Measure dissolved oxygen (DO) levels
before and after incubation.
• 5. Calculate BOD as the difference in DO
levels.
Measurement of COD
• 1. Add a strong oxidizing agent (e.g.,
potassium dichromate) to the water sample.
• 2. Heat the sample in a closed system.
• 3. Measure the amount of oxidant consumed.
• 4. Calculate COD to determine the total
oxygen demand.
Case Studies and Applications
• - Industrial effluent monitoring: Tracks
pollution from factories.
• - Urban water bodies: Assesses pollution in
rivers and lakes.
• - Wastewater treatment plants: Evaluates
treatment efficiency.
• - Regulatory compliance: Ensures adherence
to environmental standards.
Advantages and Limitations
• **Advantages:**
• - Simple and effective monitoring of water
pollution.
• - Provides data for decision-making and
compliance.
• **Limitations:**
• - BOD requires 5 days, making it time-
consuming.
