COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand)
Chemical Oxygen Demand is a vital test for assessing the quality of effluents and waste waters prior to discharge. The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) test predicts the oxygen requirement of the effluent and is used for monitoring and control of discharges, and for assessing treatment plant performance.
The impact of an effluent on the receiving water is predicted by its oxygen demand. This is because the removal of oxygen from the natural water reduces its ability to sustain aquatic life. The COD test is therefore performed as routine in laboratories of water utilities and industrial companies.
The following products are available to test for COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand):
carbo::lyser
The s::can carbo::lyser™ uses advanced spectroscopy to measure organic carbon & turbidity/solids for a multitude of pre-defined applications.
COD Tubetests
The Palintest COD Tubetests system is both practical and convenient for COD testing. The reagents are supplied premixed and predispensed into borosilicate glass test tubes, which reduces contact with potentially hazardous chemicals to a minimum.
G::Series Spectrometers
The G::Series instruments from s::can provide the power of UV-Vis spectroscopy in a convenient, portable, cost-effective, "Plug-and-Measure" form. Includes a Global Calibration for most major industries, including waste water, drinking water and more.
multi::lyser
The multi::lyser provides real-time monitoring of many parameters, including COD, BOD, nitrate and more. This instrument is part of s::can's G::Series line of portable spectrometers.
Photometer 7100
The Photometer 7100 is fully integrated with the Palintest system of water analysis. It offers a great value instrumental analysis for an extensive range of water tests.
Photometer 7500
The Palintest Photometer 7500 takes portable water testing to new heights. The smooth good looks cover a solidly engineered instrument with a high specification and high performance.
Photometer 8000
The Palintest Photometer 8000 sets a new standard for water quality testing and ease of operation. It is designed to provide accurate and fast analysis for even the busiest test labs.
Spectro::lyser
The spectro::lyser is a powerful instrument that uses advanced spectrometry to simultaneously monitor up to 8 different parameters. Can be calibrated for any water application. Nitrate, COD, turbidity, solids, hydrocarbon / contaminant alarms, and more!
