ISO 11733:2004 specifies a method for the determination of the elimination and the biodegradability of organic compounds by aerobic micro-organisms. The conditions described simulate a wastewater treatment plant. Two test systems can be used: activated sludge plants or porous pots. The tests can optionally be performed under conditions of nitrification and denitrification and coupling of the units.
The method applies to organic compounds which, under the conditions of the test, are
The method can also be used to measure the biodegradation and elimination of dissolved organic compounds in waste water (also called "test compound" in the method).
