About COD Digester
COD Digester is the most accepted Thermoreactor for Determination of Chemical Oxygen Demand in Various Substances. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is a Measure of the Capacity of Water to Consume Oxygen During the Decomposition of Organic Matter and the Oxidation of Inorganic Chemicals such as Ammonia and Nitrite. COD Measurements are Commonly made on Samples of Waste Waters or of Natural Waters Contaminated by Domestic or Industrial Wastes. Chemical Oxygen Demand is Measured as a Standardized Laboratory assay in which a closed Water Sample is Incubated with a Strong Chemical Oxidant Under Specific Conditions of Temperature and for a Particular Period of Time.High Performance and User Friendly Controls Combine to Produce a Specification Which Offers Exceptional Efficiency and Reliability.

FAQs of COD Digester:
Q: How do you operate the COD Digester for sample analysis?
A: Place pre-prepared samples in the test tubes, insert them into the aluminum alloy block, and close the lift-up polycarbonate shield. Set the desired temperature on the PID digital controller, typically 150C for COD analysis, and initiate heating. Once the set temperature is reached, the samples are digested for the recommended duration before analysis.
Q: What safety features are included in the COD Digester?
A: The COD-12 model includes an over temperature cut-off mechanism to prevent overheating, and a lift-up polycarbonate shield to provide physical protection for the operator during sample loading and unloading.
Q: When should this digester be used in the water analysis process?
A: Use the digester during the sample preparation stage for COD analysis, prior to measuring and quantifying the oxygen demand. It is suitable for water, industrial, and wastewater analysis in environmental or research laboratories.
Q: Where can this equipment be implemented effectively?
A: This COD Digester is ideal for water treatment facilities, industrial laboratories, municipal wastewater plants, and research institutions requiring consistent and accurate COD measurements.
Q: What is the process for setting the temperature, and what level of control does the unit provide?
A: Adjust the temperature using the digital PID controller, which allows precise programming from ambient temperature up to 150C. The controller maintains accuracy within 1C, and the digital/LED display ensures ongoing monitoring.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the COD-12 Digester?
A: Benefits include uniform heating for all samples, precise digital temperature control, the ability to process 12 samples simultaneously, robust safety features, and compliance with CE standards, making it reliable for high-accuracy water analysis.
Q: What type of samples and measurement range can this COD Digester handle?
A: The device supports up to 12 samples per batch in standard 38 mm test tubes, with a measurable COD range of 0-1500 mg/L, covering most common water, industrial, and wastewater analysis requirements.
