## Description

You can now bring specialized mineral processing engineering into your AI-driven design workflow. This MCP provides the specific mathematical models required to design centrifugal concentrator circuits. Instead of manually calculating variables for every change in feed grade or particle size, you can ask your agent to run the numbers for you. 

You use this tool to determine how many units you need for a specific throughput, how much water pressure is required to keep the bed active, and how often you'll need to reclaim concentrate. It bridges the gap between high-level circuit planning and the granular physics of centrifugal separation. Whether you are sizing a new plant or optimizing an existing setup, your AI client can now act as a technical design partner that understands particle size, G-force, and fluidization requirements.

## Tools

### calculate_unit_capacity
This tool calculates how much a single concentrator can process based on your specific particle size and grade requirements.

### design_circuit_configuration
Use this to find the total number of units and the physical footprint needed for your target throughput, with an optional redundancy factor.

### estimate_operational_cycle
This tool predicts how long a concentration cycle lasts and how frequently you'll need to perform concentrate reclamation.

### optimize_fluidization_parameters
This tool determines the exact water flow and pressure needed to maintain an active bed for your specific particle size.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the capacity for a unit with 2% feed grade, 75 micron particles, and 85% target recovery at 60G.
```

**Response:** 
```
The unit capacity is 12.5 TPH with a recommended G-force of 60G and a theoretical recovery of 85%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many units do I need for a 100 TPH feed if each unit handles 25 TPH?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 4 units to process a 100 TPH feed rate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the fluidization requirements for 50 micron particles at 80G and 90% concentrate grade?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required water flow rate is 45 Lpm with a fluidization pressure of 1.2 Bar, resulting in a bed stability index of 0.85.
```

## Capabilities
