How to Evaluate Biological Oxygen Demand Influent?

Biological Oxygen Demand Influent evaluator uses Biological Oxygen Demand = (Food to Microorganism Ratio*Volume of Tank*MLSS)/Sewage Flow to evaluate the Biological Oxygen Demand, The Biological Oxygen Demand Influent formula is defined as the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample at a certain temperature over a specific time period. Biological Oxygen Demand is denoted by BODi symbol.

How to evaluate Biological Oxygen Demand Influent using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Biological Oxygen Demand Influent, enter Food to Microorganism Ratio (FM), Volume of Tank (V), MLSS (X) & Sewage Flow (Q) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Biological Oxygen Demand Influent

What is the formula to find Biological Oxygen Demand Influent?
