Hello Mr. Nwaogwugwu,

With the food industry’s growing interest in minimizing water use, our company has been involved in analyzing the wash and rinse wastewater generated from potato and carrot processing plants.  Using the PeCOD® COD Analyzer, wash and rinse wastewater is sampled and analyzed for COD on the same day.  Since the analysis time for COD takes approximately 15 minutes per sample, it has the potential to be a useful tool for predicting BOD concentrations.  By continuously monitoring COD, the potato industry can optimize the washing and processing of potatoes to minimize water use and washwater treatment requirements by active control of the production process.  The PeCOD® COD Analyzer does not use harmful dichromate or mercury, making it a fast, green, and safe method for analyzing COD. 

Please let me know if you are interested in learning more about our involvement in optimizing water use in the food production process.
