BOD in wastewater influent varies with time, sometimes changing slowly and regularly, other times changing suddenly.
Inflow and infiltration, a sudden high-strength discharge from an industrial facility, a toxic load from an unauthorized chemical release — these and other events can have significant impacts on biological processes, effluent quality and permit compliance.
Classically, plant operators have monitored influent and effluent BOD by way of grab samples analyzed in a laboratory. Now Island Water Technologies has introduced the SENTRY sensor platform, giving operators real-time information about wastewater quality and biological activity in their processes.
The system uses bioelectrode sensors to continuously monitor
