Lab Manual 5.2 - LEVEL 2 - Dissolved Oxygen (DO) - Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) PDF
INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
BOD directly affects the amount of dissolved oxygen in rivers and streams.
The greater the BOD, the more rapidly oxygen is depleted in the stream.
The consequences of high BOD are the same as those for low dissolved
oxygen.
Each group should be able to identify the correct apparatus for the
experiment.
WAYS AND MEANS Each group should be able to search relevant procedures/methods with
(Refer to Standard Methods for the regard to the intended experimental works to be proposed to the
Examination of Water and lecturer/instructor prior to doing the experiment for approval.
Wastewater
The proposed procedures should consider the availability of the
apparatus, chemical and materials in the laboratory.
Collect all the data from the above procedure and results for a comparison
of DO & BOD.
All data collected and observed during the experiment should be tabulated
in proper format for easy verification and presentation of the technical
report.
RESULT, ANALYSIS
CONCLUSION 1. Tabulate the DO and BOD concentration for all sample.
2. Analyse the result based on the effluent/suitable standard from
DOE.
3. Discuss the condition of the results based on the DO and BOD
effluent concentration.
4. Suggest how the BOD concentration can be minimized in
wastewater.
5. Discuss and conclude the experimental work.
