Abstract
The most often utilised parameters for the characterisation of wastewaters are biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Both parameters have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice is usually based on several factors, such as the amount of time it takes to determine each. To aid in the design and operation of wastewater treatment facilities, it is necessary to obtain a connection between BOD and COD for various wastewater treatment plants. The volumetric loading rate and removal effectiveness of BOD and COD of two wastewater treatment plants were compared in this article. The WWTPs chosen encompassed various areas of Prayagraj, located on the Ganga River. The association between BOD and COD discovered will aid in evaluating treatment processes.
