The application of robotics in water authority laboratories is reviewed and the development of a robotic biochemical oxygen demand analyser is described. Problems encountered during commissioning are discussed and subsequent modifications are described. The performance of the robotic system is compared with the manual technique. It is concluded that the robotic technique is the more precise and that no significant bias exists between data produced by the two methods. The cost effectiveness of the system is discussed. Means of increasing the speed of operation and reducing operator involvement are considered.

Sebuah Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) digunakan untuk mengevaluasi peranan Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) biosensor dalam proses optimasi proses pengolahan nutrien karbon, nitrogen dan fosfat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa BOD biosensor dapat dipergunakan untuk penentuan karbon organik, sehingga reduksi siklus SBR dapat dilakukan dan efisiensi proses meningkat. Pola konsumsi karbon organik ditemukan dengan adanya ‘tanda diam’ pada fase anoksik/ anaerobik, di mana dari tanda ini, fase aerobik dapat segera dimulai. Reduksi durasi siklus SBR dari 8 jam menjadi 4 jam meningkatkan efiesiensi pengolahan C, N dan P yang meningkat pula (hampir dua kali lebih tinggi).
