Abstract
Stoichiometric proportionalities were derived that can be used to convert reported BOD values of organic wastes to C, N and P estimates. Ratios to approximate the dissolved inorganic fractions of N and P from reported TN and TP values were also obtained. Stoichiometric ratios were determined for various kinds of organic waste load.
