Short-term BOD (BODst) as a parameter for on-line monitoring of biological treatment process. Part II: Instrumentation of integrated flow injection analysis (FIA) system for BODst estimation

Summary, in English

An instrument with integrated flow injection analysis (FIA) system has been developed for on-line monitoring a process for conversion of biomass under field condition. The instrument consists of a newly designed biosensor for easy renewal of the bio-receptor without disassembling the sensor, a FIA controller for controlling the analysis operations, and a computer-based data acquisition system for data recording and processing. The instrument performed a sequence operations automatically including preparation of sample in the desired concentration, sample loading, sample injection, signal recording, data processing, and self-cleaning of the system. This makes the instrument being an interesting and promising device for on-line process monitonng. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
