Theoretical Oxygen Demand

The predicted amount of oxygen required to oxidize a substance to its final oxidation products is known as the theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD). However, there are certain variances in common procedures that can affect the outcomes: for example, some calculations assume that nitrogen released from organic substances is created as ammonia, while others allow for ammonia oxidation to nitrate. As a result, the calculation assumptions should always be indicated when stating results.
