COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) is the amount of external oxygen required to oxidize all organic matter present in sample water. It is a measure of the quality of water and expressed in terms of mg of Oxygen consumed per liter of sample water (mg/L). The COD analysis using Potassium Dichromate as oxidizer is one of the direct methods for COD measurement of organic matter in water.

COD Limits are set by competent authorities for various effluents permissible for accepting them in Effluent Treatment Plants or for releasing them to the environment.

Online COD160 Analyzer is based on the use of Potassium Dichromate as oxidizer. The sampling, process and measurement are automated to minimize human intervention. Online COD 160 Analyzer comes with precision syringe drive system, tiny digestion unit with PID controller, air pump and blower. It is a microcontroller based menu driven instrument with user friendly operation.

Sample Analysis consist of the following steps:

• - Sample intake
• - Chloride removal process
• - Digestion
• - Measurement
• - Cleaning and draining
