LAR’s BioMonitor is an online BOD analyzer for the determination of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), respiration and toxicity in waste water.Using BioMonitor, operators can control their waste water treatment plant in an optimal way. The BioMonitor helps operators to maintain maximum performance of their treatment processes with an automated, online method. This provides the most useful data as quickly as possible. Using the plant’s own activated sludge it delivers direct information on the treatment processes.
Features and Benetits

• Response time: 3-4 min. (customizable)
• High degradation
• Sludge activity
• Using the plant’s own biomass
• No memory effects
