    Hi Adarsha.

    I answer your question with great pleasure.

    For anaerobic conditions, we typically refer to COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) or biogas potential (e.g., BMP tests—Biochemical Methane Potential), since oxygen is not involved in anaerobic degradation.

    However, BOD is particularly valuable for identifying the readily biodegradable fraction, optimizing feedstock mix, and ensuring stable and efficient biogas production—especially in agriculture or MSW-based plants dealing with variable, organic-rich inputs.

    Cheers
