to the interior surface of the pores.
::::Pore blocking occurs when the particles of the feed-water become stuck in the pores of the membrane.
::::Gel/cake layer formation takes places when the solid matter in the feed is larger than the pore sizes of the membrane.

*Formation of chemical precipitates known as scaling
*Colonization of the membrane or biofouling takes place when microorganisms grow on the membrane surface.
