The Dortmund Data Bank represents the largest computerized data bank for thermodynamic pure component and mixture properties worldwide including data received by companies in the former GDR and from existing chemical and engineering companies.

The Dortmund Data Bank Software and Separation Technology company (DDBST) has developed the world’s most accurate property estimation software with the largest selection of property estimation methods (Artist program).  DDBST also provides the largest and highest quality thermophysical property data banks for pure and mixture properties.

The Process Synthesis software was developed to employ the large number of phase equilibrium data stored in the Dortmund Data Bank for the selection of suitable solvents for azeo¬tropic or extractive distillation. It is also possible to employ predictive methods like UNIFAC when factual data from the DDB is not available. The Process Synthesis software realizes DDBST’s long-term vision of providing intelligent thermodynamics to synthesize new and better separation processes – based on the factual Dortmund Data Bank.
