COD Water Testing Services

Reliable COD Testing in Chennai for Wastewater & Effluents – Kiyo R&D LAB

Introduction

Industries use water in almost every process, and the output is often wastewater containing dissolved organic pollutants. Even when wastewater looks clear, it can still carry a high pollution load. One of the most important parameters used to measure this pollution is COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand). That is why COD water testing services in Chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB are essential for regulatory compliance, treatment monitoring, and safe discharge.

What is COD in Water Testing?

COD measures the oxygen required to chemically oxidize organic matter present in water. In simple terms, a higher COD value means higher pollution load. COD is widely used for fast and practical monitoring of wastewater and industrial effluent quality.

Why COD Testing is Important

Using COD water testing services in Chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB helps industries:

  • Meet pollution control and discharge requirements
  • Monitor ETP/STP performance and efficiency
  • Avoid penalties, notices, and shutdown risks

Where COD Testing is Commonly Required

  • Industrial effluent (ETP monitoring)
  • Sewage treatment (STP monitoring)
  • Textile, chemical, pharma, paint, food and beverage industries
  • Hospitals, hotels, and large commercial establishments
  • Environmental consultants and compliance audits

COD vs BOD (Quick Understanding)

COD measures total oxidizable pollutants chemically and gives quick results. BOD measures oxygen demand through biological activity and typically requires longer incubation time. COD is often preferred for routine and rapid monitoring.

How COD Testing is Performed

In COD testing, the sample is treated with a strong oxidizing agent under controlled conditions. The amount of oxidized material is measured and COD is reported in mg/L. Proper sampling and preservation are essential for reliable results.
