## Description

This MCP handles the heavy lifting for petroleum process engineering tasks. Instead of manually running complex thermodynamic models, you can instruct your AI agent to perform flash equilibrium calculations or design physical parameters for stabilization columns. It's built to help you hit specific Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) targets by determining the necessary tray counts and reboiler duties for your equipment. You can also use it to quantify how much light ends you're recovering or to predict the final physical profile of your liquid crude. It turns your AI client into a specialized engineering partner that understands hydrocarbon phase behavior and stabilization requirements.

## Tools

### calculate_flash_equilibrium
This tool determines the immediate phase separation of a crude stream. It provides the liquid and vapor fractions for a given stream.

### design_stabilizer_column
Use this to define the physical parameters of a stabilization column. It calculates required trays and reboiler duty to meet your targets.

### evaluate_light_ends_recovery
This tool quantifies how efficiently you are recovering light ends. It measures recovery efficiency based on feed and overhead gas rates.

### predict_stabilized_properties
This tool predicts the detailed physical profile of the resulting liquid crude after the stabilization process is complete.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Design a stabilization column for a crude with 10% methane and 5% ethane at 5000 kg/h and 2 bar to reach an RVP of 10 psi.
```

**Response:** 
```
The design requires 12 trays and a reboiler duty of 450 kW to hit the 10 psi RVP target.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the phase separation for a crude stream at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 bar?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculation shows a liquid fraction of 0.92 and a vapor fraction of 0.08.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much light ends were recovered if the feed was 1000 kg/h and the overhead gas was 50 kg/h?
```

**Response:** 
```
The recovery efficiency is 85%, meaning 42.5 kg of light ends were recovered.
```
