Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the ProChem Software of modeling and simulation of aqueous based systems and its application to problems involving geothermal wells. The paper described the system architecture, underlying thermodynamic formulations, mathematical framework and user interface to ProChem. ProChem has been developed over a 16 year period and accurately predicts the chemistry of involved chemical systems of industrial import. Applicability to problems of industrial significance is highlighted with a practical problem concerning modeling of a geothermal well.
