"In high-volume film processing centres, hydrogen and bromide ions accumulate in the developer solution, making the developer solution more acidic. Thus, the developer solution requires regular replenishment every two to three months. In low-volume settings, oxidation reaction predominates, thus making the developer solution more alkaline instead of acidic, and no bromide ions are produced. Thus, a more acidic developer solution with higher bromide ions and sulfite is used as replenishment and to reduce the rate of oxidation 1."
