Thermodynamic utilities, such as hydrate formation, asphaltene formation, phase envelope, corrosion analyzer etc. are important tools in a simulator. Since there are different approach of these calculations, some company has there own models different from supplied by the simulator. To be able to plug in customized thermodynamic utilities, an open system is needed.

In this presentation, an open system based on UniSim Thermo in UniSim Design will be demonstrated; also, the structure of the open system will be shown and discussed.
