Water (23) that contains micro-nano bubbles generated in a micro-nano
bubble generation tank (6) is introduced and treated in a charcoal water
tank (11) which is filled with a charcoal (15) and in which an air
diffusing pipe (12) is placed and thereafter introduced and treated in a
membrane device (21). Thus, activities of microorganisms propagating in
the charcoal (15) are increased by the micro-nano bubbles, markedly
increasing ability of decomposing organic matters in the water.
Therefore, a clogging phenomenon due to the organic matters can be
prevented by reducing organic loads on the membrane device (21).
Moreover, a very small amount of alcohols or salts are added as a
micro-nano bubble generation aid to the micro-nano bubble generation tank
(6), improving an incidence rate of the micro-nano bubbles. In the case,
since the alcohols and salts are easily decomposed by the charcoal water
tank (11) and easily removed by the membrane device (21) in the
subsequent stage, no bad influence is exerted on the membrane device
(21).
