COD – Chemical Oxygen Demand
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) measures the amount of oxygen required to chemically oxidize organic and inorganic substances in water. It is a key indicator of wastewater strength and pollution potential.
Specifications we measure
| Range | Resolution | Technology | Sensor Module | |
| 0–1000 mg/L | 1 | UV-Visible Absorption | ES-WQ-COD1000 |
CPCB Guidelines
- CPCB Limit (Discharge to surface water): <250 mg/L
- CPCB Limit (Discharge to land for irrigation): <100 mg/L
Health effects
High COD levels deplete oxygen in receiving water bodies, leading to aquatic life damage and poor water quality. Regular monitoring ensures efficient treatment and environmental compliance.
