    Water-shortage will be the largest problem in 21st century, especially in big cities. Population growth will be limited based on amount of usable water. There are two ways to get water resource. One is development of new water resource, such as sea water desalination, and the other is water reuse. New water utilization system with membrane technology is proposed. For tap-water production, membrane separation is used to make water only for cooking (kitchen use) and drinking, and for other purposes such as laundry and bath use, the conventional treatment with flocculation, sedimentation and sand filtration is enough to obtain water quality for these purposes. Waste water from laundry and bath use should be treated by activated sludge with membrane, and the treated water should be reused for toilet. The membrane technology is essential in this system. Development of membrane modules and operation mode for this system will be necessary.

    In recent years, membrane filtration systems are installed more actively in the field of small waterworks to remove particles and microorganisms. However, membrane fouling still remains an important issue in many applications of membrane filtration. In order to suppress membrane fouling, a new process which combines the conventional membrane filtration process with an advanced ozone treatment was studied. The results of the study demonstrates that the membrane filtration coupled with ozonation is an efficient method for suppressing organic fouling arising from eutrophic surface water.

    By changing the conventional settling separation method for activated sludge process to membrane separation method, the membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment has created a new field in wastewater treatment. Features of this method include smaller reactor tank, shorter processing time and improved treated water quality. Systems that incorporate the membrane bioreactor are applicable to industrial wastewater treatment as well as various water treatment lines suitable to biological processes. Now, application of this method to sewage treatment is being studied widely. Furthermore, a hybrid type bioreactor treatment combined with absorption treatment is also being proposed and future development can be expected.

    The promotion of sewage water reuse has been expected increasingly from the point of the effective use of water resources. The reused waters have been used in various kind of purposes such as environmental water, flush water and cleaning water. Membrane filtration techniques has been expected in improving reused water quality.
    For the purpose of the reused water production, we have studied ozone-microfiltration system. High ozone resistance membrane module using polyvinylidenefluoride hollow fiber was applied to microfiltration. By this reused water production system, the high quality reused water can be obtained with low production cost.

    The cohesion sand filtration is usually done as the pretreatment for the sea water desalination.Recently, the sea water pretreatment by various MF membranes and the OF membranes has been developed as an alternative technology of the cohesion sand filtration. This report describes the sea water processing experiment by the MF membranes (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile) of follow fiber type and the OF membranes (cellulose acetate, polysulfone) of the spiral type. Furthermore, the experiments on the RO sea water desalination using sea water pretreated by a spiral type membrane.

    Egg shell membranes showed potential to separate racemic amino acid and racemic amino acid derivative by electrodialysis. In the present study, L-Glu, Ac-L-Trp, and D-Lys were preferentially transported through egg shell membranes from corresponding racemic mixtures. Permselectivity toward L-Glu reached 2.9.

    New NF membranes designated DKL-3000X and DKL-4000X have been developed. These membranes have excellent water permeability and separation performance at super ultra-low-pressure such as 0.3MPa. Separation performance of pesticides and humic acid through DKL-3000X and DKL-4000X membrane is compared to conventional ultra-low-pressure RO membrane (UTC-70U) and nanofiltration membrane (UTC-60). The water flux of DKL-4000X is higher than that of UTC-60 membrane and extremely higher than that of UTC-70U membrane.
    Application of these new NF membranes for drinking water production or pretreatment of seawater desalination has been expected.
