Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing is a critical tool in wastewater management, but traditional methods are slow, prone to dilution errors, and often limited in throughput.
At ECOSTP 2025, we’re showcasing a smarter approach using Gas Endeavour III – a fully automated, volumetric respirometry-based system designed to simplify and strengthen BOD testing.
Key results: – Accurate BOD₅ readings across a wide concentration range – High agreement with reference values (ISO and OECD standards) – Strong linearity, excellent reproducibility – No dilution steps needed
Mihaela Nistor, PhD, Senior Sales Scientist at BPC Instruments, invites you to discuss how BPC’s technology can benefit your work.
Why it matters for wastewater treatment
The Gas Endeavour III is already being used to optimise wastewater analysis across sectors – from municipal treatment plants to industrial R&D labs.
Applications include: – BOD testing (BOD₅, BOD₇, BOD₁₀, etc.) – High-strength industrial wastewater – Toxicity and biodegradability studies – Environmental monitoring and research
By automating respirometry and removing the need for dilution, Gas Endeavour III reduces hands-on time while improving data quality, giving you confidence in every sample.
Smart respirometry for BOD and biodegradability testing
Gas Endeavour III simplifies complex lab workflows with a compact, fully automated system for real-time monitoring of low gas volume and flow. Designed for researchers and professionals who need reliable, reproducible data, without the manual effort.
Highlights:
Fully automated measurements and reporting
No dilution required – direct volumetric gas measurement
