# Catalytic Reformer Design Suite AI Agent Connect

> Catalytic Reformer Design Suite MCP gives your AI agent the technical tools needed to design and optimize catalytic reforming units. You can determine reactor setups, predict chemical outputs like hydrogen yield, estimate catalyst life, and adjust operating conditions to hit specific octane targets based on naphtha feed properties.

## Description

You can now bring heavy chemical engineering calculations directly into your AI client. This MCP bridges the gap between raw naphtha feed properties and the final production of high-octane gasoline. Instead of manually running separate simulation models, you use your agent to handle the heavy lifting of reactor design and process optimization.

When you're working with specific feedstocks, you can use this MCP to determine the best physical and operational setup for your reforming unit. It handles the math for predicting chemical yields and helps you figure out how long your catalyst will stay active before you need to plan a regeneration cycle. If your current yields aren't hitting the mark, you can ask your agent to suggest specific temperature or pressure adjustments to reach a target Research Octane Number (RON) or to increase hydrogen production. It's a direct way to turn feedstock data into actionable unit configurations.

## Tools

### calculate_yield_and_products
This tool predicts the chemical output of the reforming process. It calculates what you'll get out of the unit based on your current setup.

### design_reformer_configuration
Use this to determine the physical and operational setup of your reforming unit. It defines the reactor arrangement and basic parameters.

### estimate_regeneration_cycle
This tool predicts how long your catalyst remains active. It helps you plan for the next regeneration before activity drops too low.

### optimize_operating_conditions
This tool suggests adjustments to temperature or pressure. You use it to hit a specific RON target or to maximize a particular byproduct.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Design a configuration for a naphtha feed with 40% naphthenes and 30% paraffins, targeting a RON of 95 using a platinum-based catalyst in semi-regenerative mode.
```

**Response:** 
```
The designed configuration includes 3 reactors with a total volume of 45m3, operating at a target temperature of 510°C and a pressure of 15 bar.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What will be the hydrogen yield for a configuration with 2 reactors and 20m3 volume per reactor?
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted hydrogen yield for this configuration is 3.2 wt%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will the catalyst last in a semi-regenerative unit with this configuration?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated regeneration cycle length is 450 days.
```

## Capabilities
