The effect of HRT on <strong>the</strong> marine denitrification system.<br />

Fig. 3 shows <strong>the</strong> nitrate nitrogen removal rate and denitrification efficiency on HRT<br />

(hydraulic retention time). As HRT was reduced <strong>the</strong> nitrate nitrogen removal rate<br />

increased until 3 hours of HRT. However, <strong>the</strong> rate suddenly decreased at HRT under 3<br />

hours. The denitrification efficiency decreased by <strong>the</strong> decrease in HRT. Even though<br />

<strong>the</strong> efficiency decreased, <strong>the</strong> nitrate removal rate increased with <strong>the</strong> decrease of HRT<br />

due to <strong>the</strong> high flow rate until 3 hours of HRT. Considering <strong>the</strong> nitrate removal rate<br />

and denitrification efficiency, <strong>the</strong> optimum HRT was limited to 3 hours although<br />

denitrification efficiency was somewhat low as 36%. The maximum nitrate nitrogen<br />

removal rate was 10 g NO3 - -N/m 3 /day at 3 hours of HRT.<br />
