About PhreeqPython

About PhreeqPython¶

PhreeqPython is an object-oriented Python wrapper around VIPhreeqc, Vitens' extension of the PHREEQC geochemical calculation engine (Parkhurst & Appelo).

Rather than writing a PHREEQC input script and running it as a single calculation, PhreeqPython keeps solutions, gases, and phases in memory as objects. You can change them stepwise, query properties such as pH, speciation, and saturation indices at any point, and mix or react them further without rebuilding the whole simulation.

That makes it practical to run dynamic simulations and real-time models, and to use PHREEQC together with the rest of the Python ecosystem, like NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, or web and control applications.

Development¶

PhreeqPython is developed at Vitens, the largest drinking water company in the Netherlands, where it supports treatment and distribution modelling. It is partly derived from PhreeqPy (Mike Müller) and ships with bundled VIPhreeqc libraries for Windows, macOS, Linux, and WebAssembly (Pyodide).

This project makes use of the (Phreeqc) (David Parkhurst & Tony Apello) calcution engine and is (partly) derived from the (PhreeqPy) extension for IPhreeqc (Mike Müller)
