SAM Starts Using COD Testing for 2-Hour Turnaround; 5-Day BOD Testing Confirms as Trailing Indicator

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

VIDEO. From the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM) meeting on Monday, August 23rd, 2021 at 7:00pm by Zoom.

Linda Sawyer, a consultant from Brown and Caldwell, presents. She explains that tracking the sewer plant upsets will speed up the testing by using the 2-hour Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) testing as a leading indicator.

The 5-day BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) tests will back up the COD testing. BOD takes 5-days because the bugs have to grow in a lab. Quicker, daily testing will help understand the BOD and the plant upsets better.
