Abstract:
A housing ( 30 ) of a hollow-fiber membrane module ( 101 ) is so configured as to have a small-diameter part ( 3 B) having an inner diameter smaller than an inner diameter of a flow regulation cylinder ( 9 ) facing a part of the housing ( 30 ) on which a nozzle ( 8 ) is provided, and which is arranged on a lower side than a lower end of the flow regulation cylinder ( 9 ) in an axial direction of the hollow-fiber membrane module ( 101 ); or the flow regulation cylinder ( 9 ) is so configured as to have a small-diameter part ( 9 G) which has an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the flow regulation cylinder ( 9 ) facing the part of the housing ( 30 ) on which the nozzle ( 8 ) is provided, and which is arranged on a lower side than the existing region of the flow regulation holes ( 10 ) in the axial direction of the hollow-fiber membrane module ( 101 ).

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein an outermost diameter of an end of the first bundling and fixing part on the side into which raw liquid flows in the axial direction of the hollow-fiber membrane module, and an outermost diameter of a hollow-fiber membrane existing region where at least the first end part of the hollow-fiber membrane bundle exists at the end of the first bundling and fixing part on the side into which raw liquid flows in the axial direction of the hollow-fiber membrane module, satisfy the following formula:\n Df<Du  in which:\n Df is the outermost diameter of the hollow-fiber membrane existing region at the end of the first bundling and fixing part on the side into which raw liquid flows, and \n Du is the outermost diameter of the end of the first bundling and fixing part on the side into which raw liquid flows.
