Wastewater COD Removal
COD is composed of readily biodegradable BOD and refractory organics that resist bacterial attack. COD reduction with a floating bead media filter is accomplished by the removal of organic particulate matter (TSS removal) and through the bacteria oxidation of biodegradable dissolved organics (BOD removal). Refractory organics are best attacked by a pretreatment with ozone which allows the bead filter removing molecular fragments and precipitates that may be formed in the ozonation process.
Our on-site pilot testing program is a straightforward way to verify that our treatment solutions will be a viable solution for your unique situation. Our engineers will work with you to build a custom system designed to address all of your unique wastewater processing requirements, including COD removal.
With over 20 years of experience, we’ve installed our specialized wastewater treatment systems in a wide variety of settings and applications. Groundwater remediation, industrial wastewater, domestic wastewater, agricultural wastewater, and more – no matter the application we can help you eliminate wastewater fines and surcharges.
