Our LAR™ QuickCODultra™ online COD water analyzer is a high-performance analyzer that measures the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of water samples. To measure the real oxygen demand, the QuickCODultra water analyzer utilizes a UV-activated persulfate digestion method that ensures complete oxidation of all organic compounds in the sample, including difficult-to-oxidize compounds such as humic acids and lignin. The analyzer then measures the amount of oxygen required for this oxidation reaction and calculates the COD value.
By measuring the COD value, the QuickCODultra onlne COD water analyzer can determine the real oxygen demand of the sample, which is a measure of the amount of oxygen required to oxidize the organic matter present in the sample. This information is useful for a wide range of applications, including monitoring wastewater treatment processes, assessing the quality of drinking water, and evaluating the environmental impact of industrial processes.
