Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a key indicator of water quality, reflecting the amount of oxygen required to oxidize organic and inorganic materials in water. COD sensors provide real-time data on the concentration of these substances, helping assess pollution levels and the overall health of water bodies.
COD sensors use methods such as photometric detection to measure changes in light absorption caused by oxidizable materials. By monitoring the amount of oxygen needed to break down organic and inorganic substances, these sensors provide insights into water quality and guide treatment processes in wastewater management.
These sensors are essential for monitoring industrial discharge, wastewater treatment plants, and environmental water bodies such as rivers and lakes. They play a vital role in ensuring compliance with regulations, supporting sustainable practices, and protecting aquatic life from pollution. By providing continuous data on water quality, COD sensors enable timely interventions and effective water management.
