Result & Calculation:: D 1 D 2) (B1 B 2) P

This document reports the results of a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) test performed on a river water sample. It provides the initial and 5-day dissolved oxygen levels for the diluted sample and blank. Based on these measurements and the dilution ratio, it calculates that the BOD of the river water sample is 0.85 mg/L.

RESULT & CALCULATION :

Sample type

: River sample

Dilution ratio : ____0.2____


Day 0 Dissolved Oxygen (DO) :
Sample
DO (mg/l)

Blank (Bottle 1)
6.42

Sample (Bottle 3)
7.07

Day 5 Dissolved Oxygen (DO) :


Sample
DO (mg/l)

Blank (Bottle 2)
6.35

Sample (Bottle 4)
6.83

Calculate the BOD of the water sample :

BOD5 (mg/l) =

Where,

BOD 5

( D 1D 2 )(B1B 2)
p

DO1

= DO of diluted sample immediately after preparation (mg/l)

DO2

= DO of diluted sample after 5 days incubation at 20C (mg/l)

B1

= DO of seeded blank just before incubation (mg/l)

B2

= DO of seeded blank after incubation (mg/l)

= decimal volumetric fraction of sample used

= ratio of seed in diluted sample to seed in seeded blank

( mgl )= ( 7.076.83 )0.2( 6.426.35) =0.85 mg /l
