Is there any program to simulate a filtration process using tow kind of membranes which are reverse osmosis and ultrafiltation beside other additives ""parameters "" such as activate carbon or coagulants instead of using pilots in experiments !!
The Winflows reverse osmosis (RO) system design and simulation software program brings advanced RO simulation to a whole new level. Some of the program features include:
3-Pass systems
Permeate split and recycle
Anti-scalant dosing
Energy Recovery Devices
Ability to combine stages
Much more
The program is an intuitive and user-friendly simulation, which makes it easy to quickly design a simple system or the most complex system without difficultly. The first program to incorporate other simulation packages, Winflows can recommend pretreatment chemicals and their dosage rates if needed.

2-ROSA System Design Software
ROSA (Reverse Osmosis System Analysis) design software continues to evolve and grow to meet your demanding system design needs. The latest version, ROSA 9.1, is now available to aid in system design using DOW FILMTEC™ elements, the highest quality RO and NF elements available globally. Download ROSA 9.1 now to begin recognizing the benefits today.
I have an app in Microsoft Excel for simulation permeate flux in UF.
However, the app do not predict membrane rejection and you need data of permeation in a bench scale rig for run the app. I can send the file, If you want.

In abstract: The scope of the current paper was to critically review the literature on the fouling phenomena in reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration membrane systems, the analytical techniques employed to quantify fouling, preventive methods, and membrane cleaning strategies. The paper also makes specific recommendations on how scientists, engineers and technical staff can assist in improving the performance of these systems through fundamental and applied research.
