The present invention relates to a method of controlling a fresh-water production apparatus for treating a raw water in stages by N-stage (N is a natural number of 2 or larger) water treatment methods, the method including: a filtration-characteristic prediction step; a filtration-characteristic deviation assessment step; a filtration-characteristic deviation assessment step; a cyclic prediction calculation step; a control condition recording step; a cyclic prediction calculation step; and a control condition recording step, in which the fresh-water production apparatus is controlled on the basis of the control condition recording step for the (n−1)-th stage water treatment method and the control condition recording step for the n-th stage water treatment method.

Method for controlling fresh water generation apparatus by estimating filtration property, method for determining presence of trouble in fresh water generation apparatus, fresh water generation apparatus, program for operating fresh water generation apparatus, program for determining presence of trouble in fresh water generation apparatus, and recording medium

The present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a clogging location determination program for a separation membrane module, in which, in order to determine a clogging location of a separation membrane module in a fresh water generation system for obtaining treated water by filtrating water to be treated by a separation membrane module having a separation membrane, a computer is caused to function as a clogging location determination means for determining a clogging location of the separation membrane module from a resistance in a lower part of the separation membrane module, a filtration resistance of a hollow-fiber membrane, and a resistance in an upper part of the separation membrane module.

Computer-readable recording medium on which clogging location specification program for separation membrane module is recorded, water production system, and water production method

An efficient method is provided for cleaning hollow fiber membrane modules, the method being capable of efficiently removing substances accumulated inside hollow fiber membrane modules. The internal liquid on the raw liquid side of the hollow fiber membrane module () is discharged from a lower end face nozzle () of the hollow fiber membrane module () while air-cleaning is performed. The method for cleaning hollow fiber membrane modules is characterized in that the rate of liquid discharge from the lower end face nozzle of the hollow fiber membrane module () when discharging the internal liquid from the lower end face nozzle is adjusted so that the air supplied from the lower end face nozzle of the hollow fiber membrane module () through the aeration holes is supplied to the hollow fiber membrane module ().
