  28. Conclusions • Deep-bed filters are efficient tools for removal of submicron particles and microorganisms form water. • Filter loading with abiotic particles and colonization of microorganisms within the filter significantly reduce the filter life-time. • Melt-blown is a useful technique for designing of deep-bed structures for uniform distribution of deposits in the filter volume. • Composite fibers consisting Ag/ZnO nanoparticles on the surface significantly reduce biofouling effect during collection of microorganisms in filter.
