Our water quality monitoring system measures pH / ORP / Conductivity / TDS / TSS / Turbidity / Chlorine / Dissolved oxygen / COD / BOD.
Turbidity is the measure of native clarity of a liquid. It can also be defined as the measure of the degree to which the water losses its transparence due to the presence of suspended particulate. The more total suspended solids in the water, the higher the turbidity. Turbidity is considered as a good measure of the quality of water.
BOD is the measurement of the amount of dissolved oxygen that is used by aerobic micro-organisms to decompose the organic matter in water. A typical healthy river will have 100% saturation of oxygen (8-10mg/l).
COD is defined as the amount of dissolved oxygen to oxidize and stabilize a sample when organic or inorganic matter of sample solution is responsive by a strong chemical oxidant. The COD value indicates the mass of oxygen consumed per liter of solution and expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L).
