A seeded BOD analysis was conducted on a meat processing wastewater. Dissolved oxygen data for the seed test and seeded wastewater follow. The BOD biotics for the seed ( aged, settled, domestic wastewater) were set up by adding 15ml per 300-ml bottle. The test bottles for the meat processing wastewater were set up by adding 2.0ml of wastewater and 1.5ml of seed.

Based on the averages of three tests, the initial DO in the seed bottles was 7.9 mg/l and the initial DO in the waste­water bottles was 8.1 mg/l, Sketch BOD-time curves for both the seed wastewater and meat-processing waste­water. Determine the 5-day BOD values and /orates using the graphical procedure.
