How many BDCS are in Ghana? ›There are thirty-three (33) bulk-distributing companies (BDC) in Ghana. These companies have the license from the NPA to do bulk distribution. They also import crude oil, procure, store, distribute and sell petroleum products particularly to Bulk consumers.
Why is CBOD important? ›Carbonaceous BOD (CBOD5 ) more closely represents oxygen demand associated with biodegradation of organic constituents of a wastewater than does BOD5 and therefore should be used as a basis for sizing and evaluating the performance of aerobic treatment processes.
Is CBOD higher than BOD? ›The BOD5 value should always be higher than or equal to the cBOD5, since the nitrification inhibitor is intended to prevent NOD, which is in excess of the oxygen demand exerted by heterotrophic oxidation of organic compounds.

The BOD5 value of Sewage samples collected from Covenant University oxidation pond was therefore measured and the samples examined for the presence of Escherichia coli.
