  • Temperature-responsive membrane, temperature-responsive membrane module, and membrane filtration system in which the same are used
    Publication number: 20070102347
    Abstract: Provided is a membrane filtration system which makes it possible to improve operation rate of the system by increasing the amount of water to be treated, and to reduce costs required for chemical washing and replacement of a membrane. Accordingly, a total running cost is reduced. The membrane filtration system is provided with temperature-responsive membrane modules for filtering supplied raw water to discharge it as treated water. In each of the temperature-responsive membrane modules, temperature-responsive membranes are formed into any one of planar and cylindrical forms, and are then filled into a container.
