  1. Calculation of Range of Dilutions for Acceptable BOD Results Prepared By Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Operator Training and Certification Unit

  2. BOD PROCEDURE DILUTE SAMPLE Minimum Residual, 1.0 mg/L Minimum Depletion, 2.0 mg/L At Least Two Dilutions

  3. Depletion X 300 mL BOD Sample = Sample Volume Minimum Depletion X 300 mL Minimum BOD = Sample Volume 2.0 X 300 Minimum BOD = Sample Volume 600 Minimum BOD = Sample Volume Calculation of Range of Acceptable BOD Results Lowest (Minimum) Acceptable Results – Lowest Acceptable Depletion

  4. 600 600 Minimum BOD = Minimum BOD = Sample Volume 20 600 Minimum BOD That May Be Reported = Sample Volume Example What is the Lowest Acceptable BOD results if 20 mL of sample is used? Minimum Acceptable BOD = 30 mg/L

  5. 600 600 Minimum BOD = Minimum BOD = Sample Volume 150 Example 2 What is the Lowest Acceptable BOD results if 150 mL of sample is used? Minimum Acceptable BOD = 4 mg/L

  6. D.O. In – 1.0 X 300 mL Maximum BOD = Sample Volume 7.0 X 300 Maximum BOD = Sample Volume 2100 Maximum BOD = Sample Volume Calculation of Range of Acceptable BOD Results Highest (Maximum) Acceptable Results – Highest Acceptable Depletion Lowest Acceptable Residual ASSUMING Initial D.O. of 8.0 mg/L Depletion = 8.0 - 1.0 = 7.0

  7. 2100 2100 Maximum BOD = Maximum BOD = Sample Volume 20 2100 Maximum BOD That May Be Reported = Sample Volume Example What is the highest Acceptable BOD results if 20 mL of sample is used? Maximum Acceptable BOD = 105 mg/L

  8. 2100 2100 Maximum BOD = Maximum BOD = Sample Volume 150 2100 Maximum BOD That May Be Reported = Sample Volume Example 2 What is the highest Acceptable BOD results if 150 mL of sample is used? Maximum Acceptable BOD = 14 mg/L

  9. Lowest (Minimum) Acceptable Results – Lowest Acceptable Depletion Highest (Maximum) Acceptable Results – Highest Acceptable Depletion Lowest Acceptable Residual (Assuming D.O. In =8.0 mg/L 2100 600 Maximum BOD = Minimum BOD = Sample Volume Sample Volume Calculation of Range of Acceptable BOD Results Summary

  10. 2100 600 Maximum BOD = Minimum BOD = Sample Volume Sample Volume Calculation of Range of Acceptable BOD Results Wait A Minute 600X 3.5 = 2100 So (assuming D.O. In is 8.0) Minimum BOD x 3.5 = Maximum BOD

  11. Lowest (Minimum) Acceptable Results – Lowest Acceptable Depletion Highest (Maximum) Acceptable Results – Highest Acceptable Depletion Lowest Acceptable Residual (Assuming D.O. In =8.0 mg/L Maximum BOD = 3.5 X Minimum BOD 600 Minimum BOD = Sample Volume Calculation of Range of Acceptable BOD Results Summary (again)

  12. 600 Minimum BOD = 30 Example What is the Lowest Acceptable BOD results if 30 mL of sample is used? = 20 mg/L What is the Highest Acceptable BOD results if 30 mL of sample is used? 20 mg/L X 3.5 = 70 mg/L Total Range when using a 30 mL sample: 20 to 70 mg/L

  13. Total Range when using a 100 mL sample = 6 to 21 mg/L Total Range when using a 150 mL sample = 4 to 14 mg/L Total Range when using 100 mL and 150 mL (two Bottles) = 4 to 21 mg/L OVERLAP From 6 to 14 mg/L Total Range when using a 50 mL sample = 12 to 42 mg/L Total Range when using 50 mL and 150 mL (two Bottles) = 4 to 42 mg/L OVERLAP From 12 to 14 mg/L

  14. Total Range when using a 25 mL sample = 24 to 84 mg/L Total Range when using a 125 mL sample = 4.8 to 16.8 mg/L Total Range when using 25 mL and 125 mL (two Bottles) = 4.8 to 84 mg/L ? NO: Does Not Include 16.8 to 24 mg/L Range To Wide (No Overlap)

  15. Calculate Range of Acceptable BOD Results Use Two Volumes that Expand the Range But Give a “Comfortable” Overlap
