BOD in Sewage Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate BOD in Sewage?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
BOD=DO(VVu)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
BOD=12.5mg/L(3.52.1)
Next Step Convert Units
BOD=0.0125kg/m³(3.52.1)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
BOD=0.0125(3.52.1)
Next Step Evaluate
BOD=0.0208333333333333kg/m³
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
BOD=20.8333333333333mg/L
LAST Step Rounding Answer
BOD=20.8333mg/L

How to Evaluate BOD in Sewage?

BOD in Sewage evaluator uses BOD = DO Consumed*(Volume of Diluted Sample/Volume of Undiluted Sample) to evaluate the BOD, The BOD in sewage formula is defined as the measure of the amount of oxygen required to remove waste organic matter from water in the process of decomposition by aerobic bacteria. BOD is denoted by BOD symbol.

How to evaluate BOD in Sewage using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for BOD in Sewage, enter DO Consumed (DO), Volume of Diluted Sample (V) & Volume of Undiluted Sample (Vu) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on BOD in Sewage

What is the formula to find BOD in Sewage?
The formula of BOD in Sewage is expressed as BOD = DO Consumed*(Volume of Diluted Sample/Volume of Undiluted Sample). Here is an example- 19886.36 = 0.0125*(3.5/2.1).
How to calculate BOD in Sewage?
With DO Consumed (DO), Volume of Diluted Sample (V) & Volume of Undiluted Sample (Vu) we can find BOD in Sewage using the formula - BOD = DO Consumed*(Volume of Diluted Sample/Volume of Undiluted Sample).
What are the other ways to Calculate BOD?
Here are the different ways to Calculate BOD-
  • BOD=DO Consumed*(3/4)OpenImg
Can the BOD in Sewage be negative?
No, the BOD in Sewage, measured in Density cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure BOD in Sewage?
BOD in Sewage is usually measured using the Milligram per Liter[mg/L] for Density. Kilogram per Cubic Meter[mg/L], Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter[mg/L], Gram per Cubic Meter[mg/L] are the few other units in which BOD in Sewage can be measured.
