The average amount of time that liquid and soluble compounds stay in a reactor or tank. It is calculated by dividing the volume of a reactor (e.g. m3) by the influent flow rate (e.t. m3/day). In wastewater treatment systems the HRT influence the treatment efficiency and is therefore an important design parameter.
