Automated BOD Measurement System for Reliable Wastewater Process Control
The Lovibond® BD600 is a high-performance respirometric BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) meter designed for laboratories and wastewater treatment facilities seeking precise, unattended measurement of up to six samples simultaneously. With a mercury-free, manometric system, the BD600 simplifies sample preparation, eliminates routine manual tracking, and enables easy interpretation of BOD values and trends through its large graphical display.
Key Features
- Fully Automated Measurement: Unattended sample monitoring for up to 28 days
- Six-Position System: Analyze multiple samples simultaneously under identical conditions
- Wide Measuring Range: 0–40 to 0–4000 mg/L BOD, selectable based on application
- User-Friendly Interface: Large backlit display with graphical trend representation
- Data Storage & Transfer: USB and SD card interfaces for exporting test results
- Remote Viewing: Includes remote control for non-contact display access through incubator glass
- Automatic Start Function: Ensures consistent sample temperature before beginning test
- Sample Tracking: Assign sample ID or names to support traceability
Applications
- Municipal & Industrial Wastewater Treatment
- Environmental Compliance Testing
- Process Optimization in Biological Treatment Systems
- Routine Laboratory Monitoring of Organic Load
