The Challenge OLR Respirometer

The Challenge OLR Respirometer
The Challenge OLR Respirometer is a true "on-line" respirometer which will give you oxygen uptake rates for your treatment plant operations
The Challenge OLR Respirometer is a true "on-line" respirometer which will give you oxygen uptake rates for your treatment plant operations.

Oxygen uptake in aerobic applications can be measured in batch, sequential-batch, or continuous modes at rates in excess of 150 mg/l/hr.

Features of the OLR Respirometer include:

  • The reaction chamber allows you to simultaneously feed aeration tank mixed liquor and your wastewater sample
  • The high-speed mixing lets you measure oxygen uptake rates in excess of 150 mg/l/hr
  • The built-in computer gives you instant monitoring of your data
  • Oxygen uptake rate measurement is relatively independent of temperature variations
  • Oxygen uptake rate measurement is also relatively independent of barometric pressure variations
  • With the OLR you won't have to calculate mass transfer coefficients (KLa)
  • You can use a high fill rate (fill the reaction vessel in 2 to 4 minutes) for batch tests
  • You will accomplish a high trunover of mixed liquor (hydraulic retention times of 30 minutes to 12 hours)
  • WindowsTM based programs are used for system control and data acquisition
