# Amine Treating Unit Design AI Agent Connect

> Amine Treating Unit Design MCP gives your AI client the engineering math needed for acid gas removal projects. It handles the heavy lifting for column sizing, solvent flow rates, and regeneration requirements, allowing you to move from gas composition data to equipment specifications without manual calculation errors.

## Description

You can use this MCP to automate the core calculations required for designing amine-based acid gas removal systems. Instead of manually running mass balances or sizing formulas, you provide your agent with gas flow rates, concentrations, and solvent types. The MCP then outputs specific dimensions for absorbers and strippers, determines the necessary circulation rates, and calculates reboiler duties. It also helps you monitor solvent quality by assessing how contaminants like heat stable salts affect your design. This makes it a practical tool for process engineers who need to quickly iterate on unit designs or verify existing specifications.

## Tools

### get_circulation_rate
This tool calculates the specific amine flow required to hit your acid gas removal targets based on gas composition.

### design_stripper
Use this to determine the physical dimensions and operational requirements for the regeneration column.

### evaluate_solvent_health
This tool assesses how contaminants in the solvent impact your design and capacity.

### design_absorber
This tool provides the physical dimensions for the absorption column based on your process parameters.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the required amine circulation rate for a gas flow of 1000 m3/h with 5% acid gas concentration using MDEA and a loading of 0.4.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required circulation rate is 125.5 m3/h with a lean loading of 0.1 and a rich loading of 0.4.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the dimensions for an absorber using a circulation rate of 125.5 m3/h and a gas flow of 1000 m3/h with MDEA?
```

**Response:** 
```
The absorber will have a diameter of 1.2 meters, a height of 8.5 meters, and will require 20 trays.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much reboiler duty is needed for a stripper with a circulation rate of 125.5 m3/h using DEA and 0.01 HSS concentration?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required reboiler duty is 4.2 MW.
```

## Capabilities

## How It Works

Connecting this MCP to your AI client gives your agent immediate access to specialized engineering formulas.

1. Connect your preferred client like Claude or Cursor to Vinkius.
2. Provide your gas flow, concentration, and solvent data to your agent.
3. The agent calls the specific design tools within the MCP.
4. The MCP returns calculated dimensions, rates, or energy requirements.
5. You use these results to finalize your engineering documentation.
