Introduction

Welcome to ProcessPI — an open-source Python library for chemical and process engineering.
Our goal is to provide engineers, researchers, and students with intuitive, reliable, and extensible tools for modeling, simulation, and design.

Process PI brings together a collection of units, components, pipelines, and calculation utilities into a consistent and easy-to-use framework.
It is designed to be lightweight enough for quick prototyping, yet powerful enough for industrial applications.

Why Process PI?

  • 🌐 Unified platform for physical properties, process units, and engineering calculations.
  • ⚡ Fast and accurate — validated against standard engineering correlations and methods.
  • 🧩 Modular design lets you extend with custom units and property models.
  • 📦 Open source & community-driven, ensuring transparency and continuous improvement.
