Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for impregnating a porous body (14) by a suspension (12) containing at least partly particles, said body comprising a multiplicity of channels (16) delimited by porous walls (22) extending from one (18) of the faces to the other (20) face of said body, part of said channels being obstructed at one face and the other part of the channels being obstructed at the other face. According to the invention, the method consists in: making a suspension whose particle size distribution meets a DV90/Dpores ratio below 0.25 and whose viscosity is such that said suspension is brought inside the walls while depositing part of the particles on the surface of the pores of the walls, communicating one (18, 20) of the faces of body (14) with an enclosure (30) containing the suspension, feeding the suspension into the body, exerting a force on the suspension introduced so that said suspension flows through the walls, passing a fluid through the walls.
