Suppose the estimated BOD of an influent sample is expected to be 150 mg/L and the dissolved oxygen concentration of the oxygen saturated dilution water used in the BOD test is 8.5 mg/L. If you are using a 300 mL BOD bottle, estimate the maximum and minimum amount of sample you would add to the BOD bottle to ensure satisfactory test results. NOTE: Acceptable BOD test should comply with the two essential criteria: DO final ≥ 2 mg/L and DO initial – DO final ≥ 2 mg/L. Assume that the dilution water is the only source of oxygen.
