Application Note: Monitoring Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in Effluent for Efficient Anaerobic Conversion to Biogas
27 May 2016
This application note compares the methods for quantifying the amount of organics present in wastewater: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), or Total Organic Carbon (TOC). Untreated wastewater released into the environment can have a devastating effect on the environment, the amount of organics present affects which treatment would be most effective to reduce the risk of pollution from effluent.
