5 Day Biochemical Oxygen Demand Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Online calculator to calculate 5 day biochemical oxygen demand that estimates consumption (i.e. demand) of oxygen during the aerobic oxidation.

5 Day BOD Calculation

Formula:

BOD 5 = [D1 - D5] / P

where,
D1 = initial sample dissolved-oxygen (DO) concentration,
D5 = sample DO after 5 days,
P = Dilution factor (decimal volumetric fraction of sample used),
BOD 5 = 5 day biochemical oxygen demand
