COD refers to the amount of oxygen consumed during the oxidation of organic matter in water under the action of strong oxidizing agents (such as potassium dichromate or potassium permanganate). The unit is mg/L—the higher the value, the more severe the organic pollution in the water.

Availability:


The significance of monitoring the oxygen consumption of organic matter in water during oxidation and decomposition

  • Quantifies the total load of reducible organic compounds (including refractory organics) in water

  • Assesses wastewater treatment efficiency and compliance with industrial discharge standards

  • Provides early warning of eutrophication risks and supports ecological conservation decisions


  1. Reagent-free operation – UV absorption method eliminates chemical usage.

  2. Multi-parameter measurement – Simultaneously monitors COD, turbidity, and temperature.

  3. Automatic compensation – Corrects for turbidity interference and temperature effects.

  4. Low maintenance – Integrated cleaning brush prevents biofouling; 18-month maintenance cycle.

  5. Robust communication – Supports Modbus RTU and 4–20 mA output for industrial integration.

◀◀  Application Scenarios  ▶▶


A. Wastewater Treatment Plants

  • Applications:

  • Real-time monitoring of COD at inlet, aeration tanks, and outlet to optimize aeration and chemical dosing.

  • Compliance assurance for effluent discharge standards.

    Advantages:

  • Fast response (<30 sec) for process control.

  • Low maintenance (built-in cleaning brush).

B. Industrial Effluent Monitoring

  • Target Industries: Pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles, food processing (high-organic wastewater).

  • Key Scenarios:

  • Discharge outlets: Continuous monitoring for regulatory compliance.

  • Pretreatment systems: Closed-loop control (e.g., adjusting oxidant dosage based on COD levels).

  • Note: Verify turbidity range (sensor compensates for ≤1000 NTU interference).

C. Surface Water Monitoring (Rivers/Lakes)

  • Applications:

  • Early warning of algal blooms (rising COD may indicate organic pollution).

  • Trace pollution sources (e.g., illegal discharge investigations).

  • Installation Tip: Mount on buoys or banks with protective casing to avoid flow impact.


    Non-Recommended Scenarios

  • ⚠ Exercise Caution in These Cases:

  • Oily or dark-colored wastewater: UV absorption may be interfered.

  • Extreme pH environments: Operation beyond 0–45°C range may reduce lifespan.

  • High suspended solids without pretreatment: Particles may scratch optical windows despite turbidity compensation.
