Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating, from a predetermined distillation profile (DPBASE-P) of a multicomponent base fluid, a thermodynamically accurate distillation profile (DPMIX) of a mixture of the base fluid and at least one additive. In an illustrative example, at least one calibrating parameter (P) of a distillation model (DM) is determined according to DPBASE-P. The base fluid and the mixture may, for example, be represented by a base composition profile (CPBASE) and mixture composition profile (CPMIX), respectively, of pure chemical components. The DM may, for example, be calibrated to DPBASE-P to generate a distillation profile of the base fluid as a function of CPBASE and P. The calibrated DM may, for example, be configured to generate DPMIX as a function of P and CPMIX. Various embodiments may advantageously enable rapid characterization of a mixture from a known distillation profile of the base fluid.
