A seeded BOD analysis was conducted on a food-processing wastewater sample. Ten- milliliter portions were used in preparing the 300-ml bottles to determine the dissolved- oxygen demand of the aged, settled wastewater seed. The seeded sample BOD bottles contained 2.7 ml of food-processing wastewater and 1.0 ml of seed wastewater. The results of this series of lest bottles are listed below. Calculate the wastewater BOD values and plot a BOD-time curve. What is the five-day BOD?
