BioLargo Water

Last night, we had the pleasure of listening to the fantastic keynote speech on World Water Day at the World Water Day conference in Edmonton, AB, by Bob Sandford. Bob Sandford is EPCOR’s Chair for water and climate security at the United Nations (UN) University.

This is a test that measures the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in water! COD is a measure of how much oxygen needs to be consumed in order to chemically react with the organic matter in a solution. In other words, COD measures how much organic matter is in a solution by asking "how much oxidation would need to happen to eliminate all these organic compounds?". It also happens to be a very colorful test.

Is this what you thought a sand filter would look like? This is our new state-of-the-art sand filter device that we use to pre-treat water that goes into the AOS Prototype, ensuring the water doesn't contain excess levels of solids and other troublesome materials before it enters the AOS.
