BOD5 definition

BOD5. (also known as TBOD5) means five day biochemical oxygen demand measured in an unfiltered sample and includes carbonaceous and nitrogenous oxygen demand;
BOD5 means the five-day measure of pollutant parameter biochemical oxygen demand.
BOD5 means the five-day measure of the biochemical oxygen demand parameter.

Examples of BOD5 in a sentence

  • Samples must, at a minimum, be analyzed for the following parameters: fecal coliform bacteria; five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5); total suspended solids (TSS); total phosphorus as phosphorus; dissolved phosphorus as phosphorus; ammonia-nitrogen as nitrogen; TKN as nitrogen; nitrate as nitrogen; pH; metals; and temperature.

  • The Treatment Plant shall provide facilities to treat all effluent to the following levels: BOD5, mg/l Less than 30 mg/l Total Suspended Solids, TSS, mg/l Less than 30 mg/L BOD5 and TSS limits shall be based on 30 day (monthly) average values of tests performed daily on 24 hour composite samples of effluent.

  • The Treatment Plant shall provide facilities to treat all effluent that will be available for reuse to the following levels: BOD5, mg/l Less than [ ] Total Suspended Solids, TSS, mg/l Less than [ ] Fecal Coliforms None detectable per [ ] ml Chlorine Residual Equal or greater than [ ] mg/l Effluent sold for reuse will be hauled from the Treatment Plant site by the user Municipality or other user.

  • Effluent that will be discharged or disposed of shall be treated to the following limits: BOD5, mg/l Less than [ ] Total Suspended Solids, TSS, mg/l Less than [ ] BOD5 and TSS limits shall be based on 30 day (monthly) average values of tests performed daily on 24 hour composite samples of effluent.

  • Self-monitoring reports, submitted by the Respondent for the Facility, show a total of 125 reported effluent limit violations of total coliform, BOD5, turbidity, total ammonia as nitrogen (ammonia-nitrogen), and total residual chlorine during the period of May 2015 through December 2023, 98 of which are subject to Mandatory Minimum Penalties (MMPs) pursuant to California Water Code section 13385 subdivision (i).
