## Description

You can use this MCP to handle the heavy lifting of electrolysis plant modeling. Instead of manually calculating yields or energy draws, you ask your AI client to run the numbers for you. It handles the specific math for chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen production based on your chosen capacity. The engine factors in technology-specific efficiencies and modern environmental standards, so you aren't just guessing at feasibility. Whether you are checking if a membrane or diaphragm setup works for a specific region or trying to predict the purity of your caustic soda, this tool provides the technical baseline. It turns your agent into a specialized chemical engineering assistant that understands the relationship between plant capacity, energy consumption, and product output.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can this MCP calculate?**
It calculates annual production yields, electrical energy requirements, product purity, and technology feasibility.

**Which products are included in the yield estimates?**
The engine estimates yields for chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen.

**Can I check if a technology is compliant in Europe?**
Yes, you can use the feasibility tool to check if a technology like membrane electrolysis is compliant with European standards.

**How does the energy requirement calculation work?**
The tool calculates the total electrical power needed based on the specific capacity and technology type of the plant.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so you can use it immediately after connecting your client.

**Can I design a plant using mercury technology?**
No. The `get_technology_feasibility` tool will flag mercury technology as non-compliant in major regions like the USA and Europe due to environmental regulations.

**How do I estimate the electricity needed for my plant?**
You can use the `estimate_energy_requirements` tool by providing your planned annual capacity and the chosen electrolysis technology.

**Which technology provides the highest purity?**
Membrane technology typically provides the highest purity. You can verify specific purity levels using `evaluate_product_quality` based on your brine purity level.
