Wastewater BOD Reduction

From optek-Danulat, Inc.
 

 
With the growing importance of effective pollution control, added emphasis has been placed on Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses BOD levels to measure effluent strength and to establish effluent guidelines as required by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
