A system to predict physicochemical and transport properties for a steady state process simulator is presented. The data handling capabilities of the Physicochemical Properties Package are managed by a Data Base Management System. The structure of the physicochemical package is such that it allows access from the simulator as well as from external users without the need to compile and ling the particular programs. This is the case od programs for Process Synthesis, Optimization, Equipment Design or simply interactive programs for the prediction of process stream properties. Thus, flexibility of operation is achieved as well as an efficient use of memory.
