To know the measure amount of dissolved oxygen in the waste water for a specified period of
time and temperature.
5.0 PROCEDURES

1. 50 ml of waste water is collected from a specified source using a beaker.

2. The waste water is then tested by using pH meter. It is tested to be neutral. The readings for both
pH and temperature are recorded in the Bench Sheet.
3. The sample is then divided by using measuring cylinder.
4. The sample is poured into the first bottle and dilution water is added until 300ml.
5. The second bottle is prepared by pouring the 300ml of dilution water into the bottle.
6. The sample in bottle is stirred whilst the DO meter is put into the bottle to get the DO reading.
Same procedure for the second bottle.
7. The readings of DO for both bottles are recorded in the Bench Sheet as initial DO.
8. The bottles are kept in the BOD incubator and remain around 20 oc.
9. The final DO is recorded after 3 days of the experiment for both bottles.
10. Repeat Back step 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 for DO 1 days and 2 days for sample.
