[0030]
 The display unit 26 displays information based on the quality evaluation value. Display unit 26, the information based on the quality evaluation value, for example, can be water quality value itself or the water quality evaluation value is displayed as a determination result of the quality of such whether a predetermined threshold value or more.
[0031]

Operator, is displayed on the display unit 26, depending on the information based on the quality evaluation value, operating the operation unit 27. Operation unit 27 sends a predetermined operation signal in response to operation of the operator.
[0032]
 Filtration rate adjusting unit 28 based on the operation signal sent from the operation unit 27 adjusts the filtration rate of the seawater in the sand filtration apparatus 21.
[0033]
 Next, a description will be given water treatment method in the pre-processing unit 20 described above.
 Figure 3 is a diagram showing the flow of the water treatment method in the preprocessing unit. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the water flow condition of the pre-processing unit in the state with reduced filtration rate.
(Water Quality acquiring step)
 as shown in FIG. 3, in the pre-processing unit 20 first acquires the detection unit 25 to the water quality evaluation value of seawater filtering process is performed by the sand filtration apparatus 21A (step S1).
[0034]
 The operator checks the information based on the quality evaluation value to be displayed on the display unit 26 determines the acceptability of the quality of seawater filtering process is performed (step S2).
[0035]
(Filtration speed changing step)
 As a result, the water quality evaluation value, unless a predetermined threshold value or more, the flow returns to step S1.
 On the other hand, sea water quality deteriorates, the water quality evaluation value is not less than a predetermined threshold value, the operator performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 27. Then, the filtration rate adjusting unit 28 based on the operation signal sent from the operation unit 27, lowering the filtration rate of the seawater in the sand filtration apparatus 21 from the reference speed (step S3).
 To reduce the filtration rate, opening the on-off valve V1. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, seawater is fed into the pre-processing unit 20 through the intake tube P1 is shunted to the sand filtration apparatus 21A, it is passed through both of 21B. As a result, the sand filtration apparatus 21A, in each of 21B, the filtration rate drops to 50%.
 At this time, the sand filtration apparatus 21A, in each of 21B, although filtration rate drops to 50%, two sand filtration apparatus 21A, for filtering the seawater 21B, remains unchanged filtration treatment of the whole.
[0036]
 Here, FIG. 5, when varying the filtration rate is a graph showing changes in water quality evaluation value after filtration. In FIG. 5, the horizontal axis is the filtration rate (filtration velocity). The vertical axis of the SDI value when changing the filtration rate in the range of 5 ~ 15 m / H, which is the difference with respect to SDI value (reference value) in the filtration rate 10 m / H.
 As shown in FIG. 5, lowering the filtration rate, SDI value is smaller than the reference value (10m / H). That is, lowering the filtration rate, water quality after the filtration is improved.
 Therefore, the sand filtration apparatus 21A, in each of 21B is the filtration rate, by decreasing than the filtration rate of the normal time in the sand filtration apparatus 21A, it is possible to improve the filtration performance.
[0037]
 Even after the filtration rate decreased from the reference speed, at a predetermined timing, sand filtration apparatus 21A, filtration treatment with 21B acquires the detection unit 25 to the water quality evaluation value of the sea water which has been subjected (step S4).
[0038]
 The operator checks the information based on the quality evaluation value to be displayed on the display unit 26 determines the acceptability of the quality of seawater filtering process is performed (step S5).
[0039]
(Filtration speed changing step)
 As a result, the water quality evaluation value is equal to or remains above a predetermined threshold value, the flow returns to step S4.
 On the other hand, the water quality evaluation value, a case in which it is in a lower than a predetermined threshold value, closing the on-off valve V1, returning the filtration rate of the seawater to the reference speed in the sand filtration apparatus 21A which has lowered (step S6) .
[0040]
 Therefore, according to the water treatment method and a water treatment system of the first embodiment described above, when the water quality evaluation value of seawater filtering process has been performed becomes a predetermined threshold value or more, the filtration rate of the seawater from the reference speed decrease. This improves the water quality after the filtration. Therefore, if the quality change of marine occurs, it is possible to prevent the water quality after the filtration resulting in excessive reduction.
 Also, filtering processing, the filter unit 21f, carried out in the sand filtration apparatus 21 using the filter medium layer biofilm is formed.
 The sand filtering apparatus 21, without any introduced such as flocculants and pH adjusting agents, water quality change of marine susceptible influence the stability of the filtration performance is. However, when performing filtering processing in the sand filtration apparatus 21, by lowering the filtration rate when the quality change of marine occurs as described above, it is possible to effectively stabilize the filtration performance.
[0041]
 Furthermore, the filtration rate changing step, along with increasing the number of the sand filtration apparatus 21 seawater is passed through, seawater is a shunted by passing water to a plurality of sand filtration apparatus 21, one by one sand reducing the filtration rate in the filtration device 21. This makes it possible to process water across the plurality of sand filtration apparatus 21 suppressed to reduce. Thus, while suppressing the reduction of the amount of water treated in the pretreatment unit 20, it is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the water quality after the filtration.
 Thus, according to the water treatment method and a water treatment system 10 described above, even when the quality change of marine occurs, it is possible to suppress the variation of the filtration water.
[0042]
(First modification of first embodiment)
 FIG 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of a pre-processing unit in the first modification of the first embodiment.
 As shown in FIG. 6, the preprocessing section 20, the sand filtration apparatus 21A, on the downstream side of the 21B, sand filtration device (filtration device) 21C may be provided in series.
[0043]
 In such pre-processing unit 20, the filtration process is carried out a sand filtration apparatus 21A and 21B in a plurality of stages arranged in series, in the sand filtration apparatus 21C, by sequentially passing water seawater. When the water quality evaluation value of the filtration process is performed seawater becomes a predetermined threshold value or more, opening the on-off valve V1. Then, seawater is fed into the pre-processing unit 20 through the intake tube P1, first, the upstream side of the sand filtration apparatus 21A, is passed through both of 21B. As a result, the sand filtration apparatus 21A, in each of 21B, the filtration rate drops to 50%.
 Sand filtration apparatus 21A, the treated water that has been filtered through 21B are passed through and joins the downstream side of the sand filtration apparatus 21C. Accordingly, the downstream side of the sand filtration apparatus 21C, the filtration rate is not lowered.
[0044]
 In this manner, by reducing the upstream side in a first stage of the sand filtration apparatus 21A, the filtration rate in 21B, the sand filtration apparatus 21C of the downstream side, the front side of the sand filtration apparatus 21A, the water quality after the filtration at 21B seawater is sent to but improved. Accordingly, the downstream side of the sand filtration apparatus 21C, less susceptible to quality fluctuations in the seawater before filtration, it is possible to perform filtration in a stable quality.
[0045]
 In the preprocessing section 20, the first stage of sand filtration apparatus 21A, on the downstream side of the 21B, but so as to provide a sand filtration device 21C of the second stage in series, and further, after the third stage the sand filtration apparatus it may be provided in series.
[0046]
 Figure 7 is a constant filtration rate sand filtration apparatus of the first stage, when changing the filtration rate of the sand filtration apparatus of the second stage, the change of water quality evaluation value after filtration in sand filtration apparatus of the second stage is a diagram illustrating a.
 Here, the first stage by providing a sand filtering apparatus 21A, the second stage is provided with two sand filtration device 21 arranged in parallel. Sand filtration apparatus 21A of the first stage is a filtration rate was fixed at 12m / H, the second stage of the sand filtration apparatus 21, to secure the filtration rate of one of the sand filtration apparatus 21 to 12m / H, the other sand filtration the filtration rate of the device 21 was changed to 5 ~ 18m / H. In this case, the other of the filtered water in the sand filtration system 21 water quality (SDI), and assess differences for water (SDI) of the water filtered through one sand filtration device 21.
 As a result, the second stage of the sand filtration apparatus 21, unlike the first-stage sand filter apparatus 21 described above, a small influence on the quality of the water was also filtered by changing the filtration rate. Results at varying first stage of these and 2-stage flow velocity respectively is believed to function in the first stage of the filter 21A and the second stage of the filtration device 21B is caused to vary. That is, the filtration device 21A of the first stage is mainly the function as filtration through biofilm, for the second stage of the filter 21B functional physical filtration is the main, in the filtering device of the first stage filtration result the flow rate was varied and the results of changing the filtration flow rate in filtration apparatus of the second stage is considered to be different.
[0047]
(Second modification of the first embodiment)
 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the configuration of a pre-processing unit in a second modification of the first embodiment.
 As shown in FIG. 8, the pre-processing unit 20, a detection unit 25 which detects the water quality evaluation value of the sea water between the pre-processing unit 20 and the seawater reverse osmosis membrane treatment apparatus 51 (see FIG. 1), filtered comprises a speed adjustment unit 28B, the.

 In this second modification, the filtration rate adjustment unit 28B is the information of water quality evaluation value detected by the detection unit 25 receives from the detecting unit 25 by an electrical signal. Filtration rate adjustment unit 28B, when the value of the quality evaluation value becomes a predetermined threshold value or more, as in the first embodiment, the sand filtration apparatus 21A, reducing the filtration rate of the seawater in 21B. That is, as the first embodiment, there is no need to intervention operator.
[0049]
 In this manner, when the quality of seawater filtering process has been performed is decreased, by automatically lowering the filtration rate of the seawater, sand filtration apparatus 21A, the water quality after the filtration in 21B improved. Therefore, lowering the rapid filtration rate when the water quality change of marine occurs can be suppressed water quality after the filtration resulting in excessive reduction.
[0050]
(Second Embodiment)
 Next, a description is given of a second embodiment of such a water treatment method and a water treatment system in the present invention. In the second embodiment described below, only the configuration of the first embodiment and the pre-processing unit are different, with will be denoted by the same reference numerals in the first embodiment and the same parts, the whole of the water treatment system 10 configuration and the like, the duplicated description thereof is omitted.
 Figure 9 is a diagram showing the configuration of a pre-processing unit in the second embodiment of the water treatment method and a water treatment system. 10, in the pre-processing unit in the second embodiment of the water treatment method and a water treatment system, showing a state that suppresses the filtration rate.
 As shown in FIG. 9, the pre-processing unit 20 in this embodiment (processing unit), a plurality of sand filtration device (filtration device) arranged in parallel with one another 21D, 21E, includes a filtration apparatus group R containing 21F there. Furthermore, the preprocessing section 20, the sand filtration apparatus 21D, 21E, a plurality of stages filtration device group (two-stage in the example of FIG. 9) R1, R2 respectively including 21F, are provided in series in the longitudinal.
[0051]
 Preprocessing section 20, a portion of the sand filtration apparatus 21D on the downstream side of the filter group R2 is, sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, on-off valve which switches to be connected in parallel to 21F and (second switching unit) has a V11 ~ V14.
[0052]
 Off valve V11 is provided in the connecting pipe P21 for connecting the sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, between the sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter subunit R2 downstream.
 Off valve V12 is provided in the connecting pipe P22 for connecting the sand filtration apparatus 21D on the downstream side of the filter group R2, and a connecting pipe P3.
[0053]
 Off valve V13 is provided in parallel connection pipe P24. Furthermore, the on-off valve V14 is provided in parallel connection pipe P25.
 Parallel connection pipe P24 and parallel connection pipe P25 connects a sand filtration device 21D on the downstream side of the filter group R2 sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, in parallel with 21F.
 Parallel connection pipe P24 is sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, branched from the upstream side of 21F, is connected to the upstream side of the sand filtration apparatus 21D on the downstream side of the filter group R2 .
 Parallel connection pipe P25 from the downstream side of the sand filtration apparatus 21D on the downstream side of the filter group R2, sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, downstream of 21F (e.g., connection pipe P23) to It is connected so as to merge.
[0054]
 In such pre-processing unit 20, a normal state, should the on-off valve V13, V14 and closed. Then, intake seawater from intake tube P1 is sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, is passed through shunts to 21F. Sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, filtered water that has been filtered through 21F, the sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter subunit R2 respectively downstream, 21E, is further filtered through 21F.
[0055]
 In the pre-processing unit 20, when the quality of seawater filtering process has been performed is decreased, similarly to the flow shown in FIG. 3, decreases the filtration rate of the seawater.
(Water acquisition step)
 In other words, in the preprocessing unit 20 first acquires the detection unit 25 to the water quality evaluation value of seawater filtering process has been performed by the filtering unit group R1, R2 (step S1).
[0056]
 The operator checks the information based on the quality evaluation value to be displayed on the display unit 26 determines the acceptability of the quality of seawater filtering process is performed (step S2).
[0057]
(Filtration speed changing step)
 As a result, the water quality evaluation value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the operator performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 27. Filtration rate adjustment section 28, based on the operation signal sent from the operating section 27, closes the on-off valve V11, V12, to open the on-off valve V13, V14.
 Then, as shown in FIG. 10, a portion of the sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter subunit R2 downstream, sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, it is connected in parallel to 21F. Thus, intake seawater from intake tube P1 is the upstream side of the filter group R1 of the sand filtration apparatus 21D, 21E, and 21F, a sand filtration device 21D on the downstream side of the filter group R2, the branched and parallel to It flows. Sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 of the upstream side, 21E, 21F and the downstream filtered water filtered by the sand filter apparatus 21D of the filter subunit R2 is sand filtration device downstream of the filter group R2 21E, It is further filtered through 21F.
[0058]
 In this way, in the filtration apparatus group R1 of the first stage is the upstream side, to increase the number of sand filtration device 21 seawater is passed through, one by one sand filter filtration apparatus group R1 in the first stage filtration rate in the apparatus 21 is lowered (step S3).
[0059]
 With this configuration, while increasing the number of the sand filtration apparatus 21 for passing water to seawater, decreasing the filtration rate of every single sand filtration apparatus 21, the volume of treated water in the entire pre-processing unit 20 it can be suppressed to reduce.
 For example, in the state in FIG. 9, the sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 in the first stage, 21E, lowering the filtration rate to 50% at 21F, a two-stage filtration unit group R2 sand filtration apparatus 21D , 21E, filtered water to be filtered through 21F are it becomes water filtration of total of 150% min.
 In contrast, in the state of FIG. 10, the sand filtration apparatus 21D of the filter group R1 in the first stage, 21E, even when the filtration rate of 21F and second stage of the filtration unit group R2 is reduced to 50%, second stage the sand filtration apparatus 21E of the filter group R2, filtered water to be filtered through 21F can obtain water filtration of a total of 200% min.
 Thus, while suppressing a reduction in water filtration (process water), it is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the water quality after the filtration.
[0060]
 Again, after reducing the filtration rate from the reference speed, at a predetermined timing, sand filtration apparatus 21A, filtration treatment with 21B acquires the detection unit 25 to the water quality evaluation value of the sea water which has been subjected (step S4).
[0061]
 The operator checks the information based on the quality evaluation value to be displayed on the display unit 26 determines the acceptability of the quality of seawater filtering process is performed (step S5).
[0062]
(Filtration speed changing step)
 As a result, the water quality evaluation value is equal to or remains above a predetermined threshold value, the flow returns to step S4.
 On the other hand, the water quality evaluation value, a case in which it is in a lower value than the predetermined threshold value, with opening the on-off valve V11, V12, closing the on-off valve V13, V14, first-stage filtration unit group R1 that had decreased sand filtration apparatus 21D, 21E, returning the filtration rate of 21F and second stage of the filtration unit group R2 to the reference speed (step S6).
[0063]
 The pre-processing unit 20 of the second embodiment described above, a portion of the sand filtration apparatus 21D of the second stage of the filter group R2, sand filtration apparatus 21D that constitutes the filtering device group R1 in the first stage, 21E, is connected in parallel to 21F, a sand filtration device 21D of a two-stage filtration unit group R2, the first stage of the sand filtration apparatus 21D, 21E, by passed through the seawater parallel to and 21F, the first stage it is possible to increase the number of sand filtration device 21. Thus, with causes to increase the number of sand filtration device 21 seawater is passed through, seawater is a split into a plurality of sand filtration device 21 by passing water, filtered in one single sand filtration apparatus 21 can reduce the rate, while suppressing the reduction of the amount of water treated in the pretreatment unit 20, it is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the water quality after the filtration. Moreover, by using as part of the sand filtration apparatus 21 first stage of sand filtration device 21 of the plurality of sand filtration apparatus 21 on the downstream side, there is no need to provide a spare sand filtration apparatus 21 or the like.
