ResumoA population balance model for a particulate suspension transport with size exclusion capture of particles by porous rock is derived. The model accounts for particle flux reduction and pore space accessibility due to restriction for large particles to move through smaller pores – a particle is captured by a smaller pore and passes through a larger pore. Analytical solutions are obtained for a uniform pore size medium, and also for a medium with small pore size variation. For both cases, the equations for averaged concentrations significantly differ from the classical deep bed filtration model.
