I have a question:  In general, what is people's experience with plant sanitizers affecting the biology of the system and the BOD measurement of an industrial wastewater?  Could a BOD level be affected if the plant's wastewater sample is pulled with high amounts of sanitizers in the stream?  What if we are talking not residuals, but actual concentrations?  What would happen to the BOD measurement of the stream?  Would it show a lower value in the stream if no sanitizers existed?  What method of BOD measurement should be used if this is a suspicion?
