Challenge Technology is a world leader in the design and manufacturing of high quality respirometers that support the wastewater, biofuel & bioremediation industries. With the introduction of the QuickScan BOD Analyzer Challenge Technology continues to lead the industry with the first fully digital respirometer.

-The Challenge QuickScan BOD Analyzer serves as a lower cost instrument to the Municipal market and to University studies where budgets are limited.

-The Challenge AER-200 Expandable Research Respirometer can be used for both aerobic and anaerobic bench-scale applications and is able to adapt to your needs.

-The Challenge ODM-100 Oxygen Demand Monitor is designed specifically as an activated sludge respirometer (ASR) to measure oxygen uptake rates, toxicity, and short-term BOD. The Challenge Oxygen uptake monitor is a true ”on-line” instrument that is rail mounted complete with SKADA output giving continuous or batch oxygen uptake rates for treatment plant operations.

See the Sept. 2008 article about Michigan State's anaerobic digester optimization project.

See the Penn State article descibing the benefits of using our respirometer to measure biological hydrogen production.


Challenge Environmental Respirometers are field-proven. There are over 300 units currently in use around the world.

"I have found the performance of the Challenge AER-200 to be unmatched. The precise measurement of oxygen consumption, homogenous mass transfer of test materials, and constant and consistent operating temperature have enabled me to obtain extremely accurate test results, particularly as compared to other respirometer systems. I find the Challenge system to be extremely user friendly."
