The implementation of a mathematical model for a reactive distillation column as a package that was incorporated in a decision support system (DSS) is presented. With the help of this package, the engineer is able to make an assisted design of the instrumentation and obtain the set of the equations that represents the equipment model accurately, thus facilitating the simulation. This software wasdeveloped taking into account a commercial simulation package called GAMS®. In this paper we report a parser implementation that links the DSS equations and GAMS®, minimizing in this way the human errors and reducing the time needed for the user in order to complete the simulation process.
