Abstract
While the BOD 5 test remains a major water quality measurement, its repeatability is poor. A dehydrated microbial seed was compared with seeds taken from various effluent treatment works using a standard glucose/glutamic acid solution. The repeatability estimate for the dehydrated microbial seed was significantly better than that attained using either raw or treated effluents as seed. However the accuracy of the test was not significantly improved by the use of the dehydrated seed, compared with fresh wastewater seeds, when seven replicates were used.
