A. BOD represents a measure of how much pollution an effluent contains, and designates Biological Oxygen Demand, meaning how much oxygen is required to convert all of the waste to carbon dioxide and water. When the BOD level in treated effluent rises significantly it is a clear indication that the microbial community within the treatment system has been decimated to a point where it cannot effectively treat the waste. Insight Environmental’s products significantly reduce the BOD levels, allowing more rapid decomposition of the organic waste.
