Biochemical oxygen demand measures the amount of oxygen required by aerobic bacteria to break down organic matter in wastewaters, providing an index of the level of organic pollution in the water. Knowledge of the characteristics of a site is essential for proper sample preparation to obtain accurate results. While BOD has been adopted as the standard for measuring organic pollution levels, it has a long turn-around time of five days and there are other more rapid analyses available to assess organic pollution, such as total organic carbon (TOC) concentration and chemical oxygen demand (COD). This presentation provides an overview of the BOD method and the challenges and considerations encountered in the laboratory, as well as a discussion of the relationships between BOD, TOC, and COD observed at the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility.

This session focuses on oil and grease, beginning with an overview of their composition, and then discussing their ability to negatively impact wastewater treatment systems. Then we explore the analytic method used to quantify oil & grease, EPA 1664A, along with the associated quality control (QC) measures that help ensure accurate and reliable results. Finally, we consider key challenges in the collection and analysis of oil and grease such as representative sampling, contamination, interfering substances, and handling hazardous substances and offer practical tips and solutions for each.

This session provides a general overview of how water flows through a City’s water and wastewater systems, what regulatory requirements are placed on the wastewater treatment system and how pH changes through usage in industrial production. The session concludes with a case study that covers the investigation of wastewater interference of the collection system, the regulation of an industrial user which caused the interference and how pH issues were handled with the industry.
The session has three learning objectives:
How does water and wastewater flow through a City and what pH is present in each stage?
What regulatory requirements are imposed on the wastewater treatment system and Significant Industrial Users (SIU)?
How is an industrial user that is unknown discovered and then regulated through a Pretreatment Program?"Registrants who view the live webinar to see the slides and hear the audio and then enter the correct attention check code (directions below) will receive 1.0 contact hours towards contact hours towards CWEA's ECI, AWTO certifications.
