Brown, L., M. Stenstrom, T. Barnwell, AND Jr. PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS OF K2-TEMPERATURE RELATION AND LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATES OF BOD (BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND) PARAMETERS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-80/211 (NTIS PB81165128).

Description:

A technique is presented for finding the least squares estimates for the ultimate biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and rate coefficient for the BOD reaction without resorting to complicated computer algorithms or subjective graphical methods. This may be used in stream water quality surveys and operational studies of sewage treatment plants.
