Colmatation during filtration process consists in mechanical stopping of solids in the porous deposit. Three types of colmatation may take place in the same time: physical, chemical and biological. Physical and chemical colmatation is caused by adsorption of solids from wastewater on the surface of grains of filtration layer, most often under conditions of electrostatic polarization of those grains. Chemical colmatation is caused by embedding of calcium carbonates, iron compounds and other mineral substances indissoluble under given conditions on grains of filtration layer. The process of chemical colmatation increases along with the growth of flow velocity. Biological colmatation is caused by stopping bacteria in the filtration layer. Bacteria activity can enlarge the colmatation process. Analysis of the influence of individual parameters on the colmatation during filtration process allows to affirm that the precise description of this phenomenon is very difficult, that is why experiments in as wide as possible range of parameters variability in order to create accurate description of the filtration process.
