## Description

This MCP server provides specialized thermodynamic modeling to prevent pipeline blockages. It allows AI agents to determine the stability boundaries of gas hydrates using `predict_hydrate_equilibrium`. Users can calculate precise chemical requirements for methanol or MEG via `calculate_thermodynamic_inhibition` and assess the viability of kinetic inhibitors with `evaluate_kinetic_inhibition`. It also provides physical constants for gas components through `get_composition_properties`.

## Tools

### get_composition_properties
Retrieves physical property constants for specific gas components

### predict_hydrate_equilibrium
Determines the thermodynamic stability boundaries for a given gas composition

### calculate_thermodynamic_inhibition
Calculates the amount of chemical inhibitor required to prevent hydrate formation

### evaluate_kinetic_inhibition
Determines if kinetic inhibitors are a viable alternative to thermodynamic inhibitors

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the hydrate formation conditions for a gas with 90% methane and 10% ethane at 150 bar?
```

**Response:** 
```
At 150 bar, the hydrate formation temperature for this composition is 14.2°C, and the system is currently in the Hydrate Stable zone.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much methanol is required for a gas mixture at 20°C and 100 bar with 5% water content?
```

**Response:** 
```
To prevent hydrate formation at 20°C, a methanol dosage of 25.4 kg/m³ is required, providing a safety margin of 3.5°C.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is kinetic inhibition a good option for a 12-hour residence time at 5°C subcooling?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, kinetic inhibition is viable for these conditions, with an estimated delay time of 24 hours before significant crystal aggregation occurs.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if my system is at risk of hydrate formation?**
You can use the `predict_hydrate_equilibrium` tool to find the hydrate formation temperature and pressure for your specific gas composition. If your operating conditions fall within the stability region, hydrates are likely to form.

**Can I calculate how much methanol I need to add?**
Yes, the `calculate_thermodynamic_inhibition` tool calculates the required dosage of methanol or MEG needed to shift the equilibrium temperature safely below your operating temperature.

**What is the difference between thermodynamic and kinetic inhibition?**
Thermodynamic inhibition shifts the equilibrium curve using chemicals like methanol. Kinetic inhibition uses LDHIs to delay crystal growth. You can use `evaluate_kinetic_inhibition` to see if kinetic methods are viable for your specific residence time and subcooling.
