Course
Contents: Virtual lectures and
hands-on activities are set up in a series of seven
assignments to enable students to learn how to correctly conduct BOD5 testing,
one of the MOST confusing procedures. Students will attend a
virtual lecture on the BOD5 procedure
which includes a series of questions and answers covering the major
steps involved in the procedure. Students will then be guided
through the correct way to calculate the BOD5 seed
correction and analytical results, and will then have the opportunity
to complete fun interactive exercises on calculating
appropriate analytical results for reporting on discharge monitoring
reports.
Troubleshooting for the procedures is also covered in detail. Students will be shown the most common errors made when conducting the BOD5 test, and will be provided with pointers to avoid making these errors. Students will also be given useful checklists to use when conducting their own self-audit of BOD5 procedures.
