Title:
WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM AND WATER PURIFICATION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/005369
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the issue of fouling (clogging up) of a water purification system using a reverse osmosis membrane by attachment/accumulation on a membrane surface of organic matter contained in untreated water. The present invention provides a water purification system characterized by having a closed channel that circulates circulating water that does not contain substances that cause fouling, on the downstream side and separated from the untreated water by a semipermeable membrane. Substances that cause fouling can be prevented from coming in contact with the reverse osmosis membrane and fouling can be reduced, by reverse osmosis membrane processing of the circulating water having a low organic matter concentration, after water is collected from the untreated water containing organic matter into the circulating water via a forward osmosis membrane that is difficult to foul.
