The TKN removal in <strong>th</strong>e BMBR and <strong>th</strong>e YMBR re<strong>ac</strong>tor showed some difference<br />

wi<strong>th</strong> change in HRT. In <strong>th</strong>e BMBR system, <strong>th</strong>e effluent TKN and ammonical nitrogen<br />

concentration at 16 h HRT was 300 and 216 mg/L, while at 24 h HRT was 200 and 140<br />

mg/L, respectively. In <strong>th</strong>e YMBR system, <strong>th</strong>e effluent TKN and ammonical nitrogen<br />

concentration at 16 h HRT was 280 and 200 mg/L, while at 24 h HRT was 193 and 130<br />

mg/L, respectively. This showed <strong>th</strong>at <strong>th</strong>e 24 h HRT was more effective in TKN removal.<br />
