PHREEQCI Version 2 is a complete windows-based graphical user interface to the geochemical computer program PHREEQC (Version 2). It can be used interactively to perform all the modeling capabilities of the program, including speciation, batch-reaction, 1D reactive-transport, and inverse modeling. Data for the program are entered through a series of keyword data blocks, each of which provides a specific type of information.

PHREEQCI can be program for simulating chemical species by using an ion-association used interactively to perform all the reactions and transport processes in aqueous model. The most important modeling capabilities of PHREEQC— natural or contaminated water.
