Introduction to Laboratory
Environmental Engineering Laboratory contributes mainly teaching activities as in the Civil Engineering Department. It provides support in a wide range of specialized areas of Environmental Engineering analysis and public health engineering to the students.
This includes: Determination Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) in the Water sample, Determination of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in the water sample, Standard Jar Test.
Course supported includes:
CE 445 and CE 221

| BOD Apparatus 
BOD Bottle or an incubation bottle is a main apparatus used for the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) test. During the 5-day BOD or BOD5 test process, the BOD bottle is used for incubating diluted samples under the 20 °C or 68 °F of temperature
|
| COD Digestion Heater 
Digestion device for COD, TOC, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in water samples of the digestion process, digestion temperature, digestion time can be at 37-165 ℃ ,0-480 minutes in selection
|
 Spectrophotometer It is an optical instrument for measuring the intensity of light relative to wavelength. It is used in measuring chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater samples.
|
 Oven It is used for heating and drying of samples.
|
 Lamotte smart 3 colorimeter Colorimeter is ideal for water analysis in the field or in the lab. Its software allows the analyst to choose a test factor from over 80 pre-programmed calibrations for LaMotte reagent systems.
|
 Turbidity Meter It is used to measure the turbidity (or cloudiness) of water and wastewater sample.
|
 KERN PLS Weighing Balance It is used to measure the weight of specimen in the lab.
|
 HI 207 pH meter Determination of pH in water and wastewater samples
|
 Isotemp Heater and Stirrer It is used for stirring and heating of specimen.
|
 Laboratory Water Bath It is used to incubate samples in water at a constant temperature over a long period of time.
|
 DO 6 + Dissolved Oxygen/temperature It is used to measure Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature simultaneously.
|
 Jar test apparatus Understanding the process of coagulation and flocculation using ferric chloride as chemical coagulant to remove turbidity of water. It is also used to understand the adsorption phenomena of removing color from a water sample by using Granular Activated Carbon (GAC).
|
 APEL AP-1000M Photometer High precision Mobile Colorimeter for testing water quality.
|
 Hanna HI 2211 PH/ORP Meter It is used to measure pH, temperature, ion concentration (ISE) and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) in the mV range.
|
 Hanna HI 9142 DO Meter
It is used to measure Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature simultaneously.
|
 Hanna HI 99301 EC/TDS meter It measures High Range conductivity, total dissolved solids and temperature
|
 NS 750 Aerator It is used for aerating the water and wastewater samples.
