Modelling membrane separation processes and well predicting process variables can reduce the amount of tests, the costs and time usually consumed in pilot scale experiments. For these purposes, numerical simulation is very convenient as it combines rapidity, low cost and relatively easy implementation. The current work consists on developing a predictive numerical model for applications ranging from reverse osmosis to nanofiltration. The model does not use empirical correlations or experimental transfer coefficients: it depends only on solution physical properties, membrane characteristics and operating conditions. Validation is made by comparison to results found in scientific publications.
