Prode Properties
properties of pure fluids and mixtures

The useful tool for chemical , mechanical , environmental engineering

With hundreds of users, a good reputation and very competitive price Prode Properties is the useful software which engineers like to have when carrying-out their projects.
Introduced in 1996 Prode Properties was the first C++ thermodynamic framework designed to provide advanced features as those available in process simulators within Windows applications as Microsoft Excel or Visual Basic, now it is a mature and stable product which has been tested by Prode and other companies in many different realtime operations for more than 10 years, it provides a very stable platform properly designed for industrial use.
Whether you need to access steam tables , properties of pure fluids and mixtures , solve two phase, three phase or multiphase separations, mixers , separators , flash operations, calculate heating / cooling curves etc. Prode Properties does all this for you easily, instantly, rigorously and from your favourite Microsoft Windows software.
Typical applications are :

• Properties of pure fluids and mixtures
• Steam tables
• Heat / Material Balance
• Process Simulation
• Process Control
• Process Optimization
• Equipment's Design
• Separations
• Instrument's Design
• And more ....

Prode Properties works with your favourite software

Prode Properties includes a library (Microsoft Windows Dynamic Link Library also called DLL or ActiveX) which links directly with Microsoft Windows applications as :

• Microsoft Excel
• Microsoft Visual Basic
• Microsoft Visual C
• Microsoft Fortran
• Borland Delphi
• Borland C++
• Lotus 1-2-3
• And more..

Example of Prode Properties integrated with Microsoft Excel application for providing properties directly into Excel's cells

With Prode Properties you will be able to create procedures for solving a quantity of problems and extend your existing applications by including a comprehensive property generator.

The advantages

• easy to use
• it includes a predefined Microsoft Windows procedure for defining streams.
• just one call to calculate equilibria and transport properties etc.
• easy to integrate with spreadsheets, custom programs etc.
• Comprehensive, it includes a thermodynamic framework and a pure component data bank.
• Rigorous, robust multiphase convergence with non-ideal chemical systems.
• Powerful, support for up to 1000 different streams, simulation of complex problems.
• Flexible, each stream has its own list of components (not a selection from a common list) and supports up to 10 different phases (gas,liquid,solid), the thermodynamic model is an attribute of the stream so the user can simply associate ASME Steam Tables to water streams, Soave-Redlich-Kwong model to natural gas streams etc.

Create and print graphs and tables of values

Prode Properties includes a Microsoft Windows application for creating graphical and tabular views of properties of pure fluids and mixtures which can then be printed or exported into different Microsoft Windows applications via copy and paste clipboard. These graphs and tables can be included in reports, specifications etc.

Industry link via OPC interface

Prode Properties includes a OPC client interface, so you can easily connect your OPC server, set (in real-time) compositions and operating conditions and get immediately all the properties which you need in your application !
