In Japan, the membrane filtration is becoming a common technology for municipal water supply system especially for small plant. 6 years before (1991), the national research project of membrane filtration for small plant has started. The project was named as "MAC 21", MEMBRANE AQUA CENTURY 21. In the project the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 8 universities and 18 water treatment plant companies have been involved. This was the first attempt to research a common theme in joint with government, universities and private companies. After three years, the guide line for membrane filtration application for small plant has been established. This has promoted to install some actual plant. And also, another joint research for "RESEARCH OF MEMBRANE FILTRATION FOR ADVANCED WATER TREATMENT" has started in 1994 and completed in March, 1997. The project was named as MAC21. In the former project the main objectives were removal of turbidity and bacteria from water. However, in new project the objective was establishment of the further advanced membrane filtration technology which would be applicable for trace chemical components removal such as tri-halo-methane pre-courser, agricultural chemicals removal, offensive smell and taste removal and virus removal. For the objectives, application of nanofiltration and hybrid-system, a combination of micro-filtration ultra-filtration with biological, ozone and activated carbon treatment process have been studied. In addition, application of membrane filtration for treatment of back-wash waste water originated from membrane filters and conventional sand filters has.been studied. At the end of March of this year, about 30 membrane filtration plants are actually supplying the water, the total treatment capacity is about 6,000 m$^{3}$/day and another 20 will be installed within one year.led within one year.

산업발전에 따라 발생하는 각종 오염물질에 의한 양질의 물 부족현간을 해결하거나 산업적으로 특정물질을 분리하기 위하여 새로운 분리기술이 개발되고 있으며 앞으로 인류에 대한 가장 절실한 기술로 떠오를 것이다. 이러한 측면에서 분리막은 가장 효율적인 분리기술로 여겨져 지난 30년간 눈부신 발전을 해왔고 최근 국내에서도 소재개발과 함께 이를 응용한 분리막 System개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 분리막에 의한 공정은 상변화가 없는 분리공정이므로 에너지 측면에서 효율적이며 공정자체가 간단하여 점차 보편적인 기술로 자리를 잡아가고 그 기본원료가 부직포, 종공사나 장,단섬유이므로 주로 화섬회사위주로 소재개발이 주로 되고 있다. 본 발표에서는 최근에 국내에서 생산되기 시작한 역삼투막의 제조방법과 이를 이용한 System설계기술에 대하여 총괄적으로 소개하고자 한다.

Reverse osmosis(R/O), ultrafiltration(UF) and microfiltration (MF) processes are widely used for water treatment. In the seminar, characteristics of typical membrane modules including tubular, hollow fiber, plate and frame and spiral wound types will be discussed in detail. The design methods based on hydrodynamics for hollow fiber and spiral wound modules will be introduced analytically. Concentration polarization (CP) and membrane fouling mechnism as well as the techniques for CP reduction will be handled. The CP control techniques contain chemically modified membrane surface, pretreatment of feed water, operation of low trans-membrane pressure, chemical or physical cleaning methods and artificial production of various fluid turbulences near the membrane surface, etc. In especially, the recent commercial membrane modules for CP control including module rotation, vibration and Taylor or Dean vortex system will be introduced and discussed in detail.

The lack of water resources is becoming worse due to water pollution with accelerated industrialzation and regional unbalanced distribution of water resources. In recent, the production water quality is decreasing because of the increased organic matters and soluble solids in the water sources for power plants. The purpose of this paper discribes the ststus and prospect of membrane application in electric power industry. So this study lies in developing a process which can produce high purity water by appluing RO(Reserve Osmosis) ahead of the IX(Ion Exchange) tower and evaluating the product water quality and the cost effectiveness. The capital and operating cost for the treatment of brackish water, sea water by RO were presented as a reference for the review on securing water source for the new plant site.

먹는물 생산용 역삼투법 해수담수화 시설의 도입에서 시설은 원수의 수질에 대하여 먹는물 수질기준을 충분히 달성할 수 있는 능력을 가져야 하고, 또한 시설의 배치, 유지관리 및 경제성을 고려한 최적공정이 선정되어야 한다. 역삼투법에 의한 먹는물 생산용 담수화시스템의 설비는 기본적으로 막의 성능을 안정적으로 유지하기 위한 전처리설비, 역삼투막모듈로 원수를 공급하기 위한 고압펌프 및 용존염의 제거하기 위한 역삼투막모듈 등의 세부분으로 구성되지만, 실용화 장치에서는 원수를 공급하기 위한 취수설비, 막으로 처리된 생산수를 먹는물로 급수하기 위한 후처리설비, 기타 세정설비 및 세정배수처리설비 등으로 구성된다.
