This study aims to illustrate the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on reactor performance and biofilm characteristics in the gravity-driven membrane (GDM) reactor pretreating seawater. Three GDM reactors were operated in parallel for ~62 days under HRTs of 22 h, 54 h, and 102 h, respectively...
