BOD Sensor

  1. please explain what a BOD sensor is (biochemical oxygen demand?) and explain what you want to use it for

Not many folk would know that.
BOD is indeed Biochemical Oxygen Demand used to measure the effect that an effluent like sewage effluent has on oxygen levels.
The 5-day test simply involves measuring the oxygen level of a sample then incubating at a constant temperature for 5 days and measure again. So really all that is needed is an oxygen probe.
Expensive, need a lot of maintenance.
