The Geochemist's Workbench

Description :


Over the past 20 years, The Geochemist's Workbench name has become synonymous with geochemical modeling. The GWB is now in use at more than 1000 companies, universities, and research institutions worldwide.
The new version uses multithreaded parallel processing to run faster than ever, dual porosity modeling, and the new Geochemist's Spreadsheet! Click here for more details.
The Geochemist's Workbench is available in 3 tiers, each tier with increasing functionality:


GWB Essentials

Are you still storing your water chemistry data in Excel? GWB Essentials provides a spreadsheet designed to meet the needs of aqueous geochemists.
GWB Essentials is a set of software tools for solving water quality problems, including those encountered in environmental protection and remediation, the petroleum industry, and mine wastewater planning. GWB Essentials was created for water engineers, aqueous chemists, geochemists and anyone else working with water quality data!

With GWB Essentials you can :

• store water data, convert units, sort, evaluate replicates and standards, and flag exceedances in one spreadsheet
• balance chemical reactions
• create Eh-pH (Pourbaix) and activity diagrams
• calculate solution speciation, mineral saturation, gas fugacities and more
• model ion sorption and surface complexation
• plot Piper, Stiff, series, time series, cross plot, ternary and numerous other aqueous geochemistry diagrams 

Designed for geochemists by geochemists, GWB Essentials is fast, powerful, and easy to use - an essential toolkit for academic researchers, professionals, and educators.

GWB Essentials contains the following modules: 

• The Geochemist's Spreadsheet^new! or GSS is the place to store all your water analysis. GSS lets you paste data from Excel, quickly convert units, manage and maniuplate water chemistry data with common spreadsheet tools, calculate bulk fluid properties (TDS, charge balance etc.), speciation, mineral saturation and gas fugacities, create numerous water chemistry diagrams using Gtplot, mix fluids, compare replicates and check standards, sort data, and launch SpecE8 or React.  
• Rxn balances chemical reactions and calculates equilibrium constants, temperatures, and equations  
• Act2 generates stability diagrams on activity, Eh, pe, pH, and fugacity axes 
• Tact generates temperature-activity and temperature-fugacity diagrams  
• SpecE8 computes species distributions, mineral saturation, and gas fugacity in aqueous solutions
• Gtplot projects SpecE8 calculations in a variety of ways, including ternary, Piper, Stiff, Durov, Schoeller, and ion balance diagrams    
  

 GWB Standard

The new version of GWB Standard contains The Geochemist's Spreadsheet (GSS), THE spreadsheet for water data. GWB Standard, the middle tier of The Geochemist's Workbench software suite, contains the same tools as the lower tier, GWB Essentials, plus a full suite of reaction path modeling tools:

• polythermal and sliding fugacity reactions
• consider mineral dissolution/precipitation kinetics and redox kinetics
• specify custom rate laws
• model microbial metabolism and growth
• Debye-Huckel or Pitzer activity coefficients
• flow-through and flush configurations
• flash (scaling) diagrams
• stable isotope fractionation   

 Designed for geochemists by geochemists, The Geochemist's Workbench is fast, powerful, and easy to use - an essential toolkit for academic researchers, professionals, and educators.

GWB Standard modules

In addition GWB Standard also contains a module for reaction path modeling:

• React traces reaction paths involving fluids, minerals, and gases. React can account for kinetic rate laws, isotope fractionation, microbial metabolism and growth, and much more 
• The Gtplot module displays the results of React simulations. Gtplot allows you to view almost any compositional variable along the reaction path: species concentrations, mineral masses and saturation indices, gas fugacities, elemental and component compositions, pH/Eh, temperature, TDS, alkalinity and much more! 

Interested in using combining the reaction path modeling of GWB Standard with 1D or 2D transport modeling? GWB Professional adds powerful calculation and graphics modules for modeling reactive transport in groundwater flows.

What's new in GWB version 8?

GWB Standard is now available through Aqueous Solutions LLC. Please visit www.gwb.com for sales and support.
The Geochemist's Workbench release 8 offers significant speed enhancements and dual porosity modeling for the Professional tier, and the new Geochemist's Spreadsheet for the Essentials, Standard and Professional tiers!
