Abstract

Disclosed is a substrate liquid processing apparatus including: a processing bath in which a processing liquid is stored; a chemical liquid component supply unit that supplies chemical liquid components; a concentration detecting unit that detects a concentration of the chemical liquid components; and a controller configured to perform a first control as a feedback control that replenishes the processing liquid with the chemical liquid components such that the concentration of the chemical liquid components contained in the processing liquid within the processing bath does not become less than a predetermined allowable lower limit, based on the concentration of the chemical liquid components detected by the concentration detecting unit. In addition, the controller performs a second control that replenishes the processing liquid with the chemical liquid components in a predetermined amount required to offset a reduction in concentration of the chemical liquid components caused by the introduction of the substrate.
