## Description

You can now bring specialized petroleum engineering expertise directly into your AI workflow. This MCP provides the specific mathematical tools needed to design floating roof storage tanks that meet API 650 Appendix C requirements. Instead of manually running stability checks or seal sizing formulas, you let your agent handle the technical heavy lifting. 

Your agent uses these tools to determine the best roof architecture for a specific tank size and liquid density. It calculates the necessary primary and secondary seal configurations to ensure containment. It also assesses whether a design can withstand local wind and seismic risks to prevent tilting or submergence. Finally, it handles the drainage math to ensure rainwater doesn't compromise the roof's structural integrity. This turns your AI client into a specialized engineering partner for oil and gas storage projects.

## Tools

### calculate_seal_system
This tool identifies the specific primary and secondary seal configurations required for your tank design.

### design_roof_drainage
Use this to determine the capacity and placement of roof drains so rainwater doesn't cause weight accumulation.

### evaluate_environmental_stability
This tool assesses if a roof is at risk of tilting or submerging during wind or seismic events.

### select_roof_type
This tool picks the most appropriate floating roof architecture based on your tank's specific configuration.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Recommend a roof type for a 30m diameter tank storing liquid with a density of 850 kg/m3 and a max wind speed of 40 m/s.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 30m diameter tank with a product density of 850 kg/m3, a pontoon roof is recommended with a stability margin of 1.45.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What seal system is needed for a 20m diameter tank with high volatility product using a pontoon roof?
```

**Response:** 
```
A high-performance mechanical seal system is required, featuring a primary liquid-tight seal and a secondary vapor seal with a total width of 0.6 meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the drainage requirements for a double-deck roof with a 25m diameter and 50mm/hr rainfall intensity.
```

**Response:** 
```
The design requires 4 flexible hose drains with a total capacity of 120 liters per minute to prevent weight accumulation.
```

## Capabilities

### Architecture Selection
Your agent picks the right roof type for the tank's dimensions and contents.

### Seal Configuration
The AI calculates primary and secondary seal requirements for containment.

### Stability Assessment
Your agent checks for risks from wind and seismic activity.

### Drainage Planning
The AI determines drain capacity to manage rainwater weight.

### Standard Compliance
All calculations follow API 650 Appendix C guidelines.

## Use Cases

### Initial Tank Sizing
Determine the best roof type for a new tank based on diameter and liquid density.

### Safety Auditing
Check if an existing roof design can handle specific wind or seismic risks.

### Seal Specification
Generate the exact primary and secondary seal widths needed for volatile products.

### Rainwater Management
Calculate the necessary drain capacity for tanks in high-rainfall areas.

## Benefits

- Reduces manual calculation errors in API 650 Appendix C compliance.
- Speeds up the initial design phase for floating roof architectures.
- Provides immediate stability assessments for wind and seismic loads.
- Automates the sizing of seal systems and drainage capacities.

## How It Works

Connect your AI client to Vinkius and start running engineering tools immediately.

1. Connect your preferred client like Claude or Cursor to the Vinkius platform.
2. Provide your tank parameters, such as diameter and liquid density, to your agent.
3. The agent invokes the specific MCP tools to run the required API 650 calculations.
4. Review the technical outputs for roof type, seal specs, or stability margins.
