A beta version of the upcoming new version, ThermoFAST 2, can be downloaded here.
A thermodynamic property calculator for LNG and natural gas with the ability to perform vapour-liquid-solid equilibrium calculations, capture complex solid formation behaviour and generate phase envelopes.
To install ThermoFAST, simply download the link, and extract the “.zip” file anywhere on your hard drive. Once extracted simply double click on the ThermoFAST icon to begin using the tool. Because it’s an .exe file you may need administrator privileges. Alternatively, you can avoid installing any software by using ThermoFAST Web, which has reduced functionality but runs through your browser.
In both cases, user documentation is available through the user interface.
