(Tentative) Water Metabolic System contributes to the
creation of a recycling-oriented society through the development of a
leading-edge autonomous and distributed water-treatment system, which enables
the direct and indirect reuse of water and the recovery of useful resources from
sewage and wastewater by making use of membrane filtration technology,
functional nanomaterials and molecular biological tools; the development of
effluent separation and treatment technology at sources of origin; and the
development of technologies designed to manage and reduce risks from pathogenic
microorganisms and chemical substances by capitalizing on the state-of-the-art
genetic engineering tools.
