BOD and Respirometers
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor is the VELP measuring sensor designed to perform multiple respiration and degradation tests in a wide range of applications such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP), Soil respiration test, Plastic Biodegradability test and more. Together with wireless data transmission to the PC, the RESPIROMETRIC Sensor features exclusive connectivity to the VELP Ermes Cloud Platfo…
The VELP RESPIROMETRIC Sensor Systems contain all the required parts and accessories in order to be operational right from the start. VELP has designed different systems suitable for aerobic and anaerobic applications.
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System – BOD and other Aerobic Respiration Tests
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System is designed to be a versatile solution with minimum footprint for aerobic degradation tests for Industrial and Domestic water quality testing.
- Ideal for: BOD5, BOD7, BOD Ultimate, Assessment of disinfection on BOD
- BOD scales: 90, 250, 600, 999, 4000 (higher values after dilution)
- Biodegradation of monomers application to study the microbial activities involved in the production of plastics
- Results reading in Pressure (millibar) and BOD (mg/l)
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System MAXI – BMP and other Anaerobic Respiration Tests
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System Maxi is designed to support anaerobic respiration studies to determine the Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) of biomass. The BMP analysis studies the production of biogas from organic wastes mainly for Waste and Wastewater treatment and for Renewable Energy Production.
- Results reading in Pressure (millibar) and automatic conversion in BMP value (NmLCH4/gSV)
- The system is suitable also for other anaerobic studies such as Denitrification Tests
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for Plastic Biodegradability – Aerobic Biodegradability of Plastics
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for plastic biodegradability is designed to support aerobic degradation test for the determination of the degree of aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials, including those containing formulation additives, in an aqueous medium.
- Multistirrer Digital 6-positions to precisely set stirring speed and enable the lock feature to avoid unintentional modification of the stirring speed
- Results reading in Pressure values (millibar)
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for Soil Analysis - Aerobic Soil and Compost Respiration Test
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for soil analysis is designed to support aerobic degradation tests on soil and compost. The analysis provides microbial soil respiration results from the mineralization of organic substances. A major application of these tests is related to the detection and monitoring processes during decontaminations and clean-ups.
- The analysis is carried out directly on soil/compost in the 1000ml flask
- Results reading in Pressure values (millibar)
