Sample1 of wastewater: BOD7, mg/L = 8.56 7.74

(4 300)

= 61.5 mg/L

8.54 7.79
Sample2 of wastewater: BOD7, mg/L =
(4 300)
= 56.25 mg/L

8.55 7.56
Blank1 of wastewater:BOD7, mg/L =
(0 300)
= 0 mg/L

8.51 7.62

Total suspended solid (TSS)

Description Weight (g)

Weight of the clean filter paper (g) W1 0.0918

Weight of the filter paper and the residue (g) W2 0.0906

Weight of residue (g) W 0.0012

Volume of sample (mL) V 100

Calculation the Total Suspended Solid (TSS)

W1 =0.0918

W2 = 0.0906

V =100ml

Weight of residue (g) W= W1-W2

= 1.2mg

=0.0012g

weight of residue in mg = 0.0012x 1000

= 1.2mg

Total Suspended Solid (mg/l)

V = volume of the sample (ml)(to convert ml to L, multiply by 1000)

= 1.2 mg/100 ml

= 0.012 mg/ml

(to convert ml to L, multiply by 1000)

= 0.012 mg/ml x 1000 ml/L

= 12 mg/L
Bacteria Count

1/10 Yes 124 1.24

1/100 Yes 95 0.95

1/1000 Yes 82 0.82

1/10000 Yes 69 0.69
1/100000 Yes 48 0.48

Calculation the Bacteria Count

Number of bacteria/ml =
Number of colonies on plate reciprocal of dilution of sample
= 12.4 10
= 124 bacteria / ml

Number of bacteria/ml =
Number of colonies on plate reciprocal of dilution of sample
= 0.95 100
= 95 bacteria /ml

Number of bacteria/ml =
Number of colonies on plate reciprocal of dilution of sample
= 0.082 1000
= 82 bacteria/ml

Number of bacteria/ml =
Number of colonies on plate reciprocal of dilution of sample
= 0.0069 10000
= 69 bacteria/ml

Number of bacteria/ml =
Number of colonies on plate reciprocal of dilution of sample
= 0.000048 100000
48 bacteria/ml

Average= (12.4+0.95+0.082+0.0069+0.00048)

= 13.43938
Total Bacteria = (12.4x10) + (0.95x102 ) + (0.082 103 ) + (0.0069x 104 ) +
(0.00048x105 )

= 418 bacteria/ml
