CALCULATORS

Calculate the population equivalent of a discharge

The population equivalent expresses the pollutant load of wastewater as the number of people who would generate the same load (60 g of BOD₅ per day per person). It is used to size treatment plants and in discharge permits.

How it is calculated

  • Population equivalent: p.e. = BOD₅ load (kg/day) / 0.060 kg per population equivalent per day.

Measure these data continuously

With our IoT probes, sensors and equipment you have the data in real time on any device, and the panel calculates this value on its own and warns you before problems appear.

Applications whose panel (dashboard) calculates it continuously: Treatment plant biological process control (panel · ROI) · Early detection of illegal or accidental discharges (panel · ROI) · Early warning of arrivals at the treatment plant (panel · ROI)
