What Does BSRT Stand For?

BSRT stands for Biological Solids Retention Time

BSRT, or Biological Solids Retention Time, refers to the duration that biological solids, such as microbial biomass, are retained in a treatment system. This metric is critical for optimizing the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes, as it influences the rate of microbial growth and the overall performance of biological treatment methods. An appropriate BSRT ensures effective degradation of organic matter, enhances nutrient removal, and contributes to the stability of the treatment system.
