## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing ion exchange (IX) systems. It allows AI agents to calculate the required `calculate_resin_volume` based on water chemistry, determine physical `design_column_dimensions` for the exchange vessels, and `estimate_regeneration_requirements` for restoring resin capacity. Additionally, it can `analyze_kinetic_suitability` to ensure the system provides sufficient contact time to prevent premature breakthrough.

## Tools

### analyze_kinetic_suitability
Evaluates if the proposed design provides enough contact time for ion exchange

### calculate_resin_volume
Determines the required volume of resin needed to treat a specific volume of water to a target effluent quality

### design_column_dimensions
Calculates the physical geometry (diameter and height) of the exchange column

### estimate_regeneration_requirements
Calculates the amount of chemical regenerant needed to restore the resin's capacity

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much resin do I need to treat 10,000 liters of water with an influent concentration of 50 mg/L and a target of 5 mg/L, using a resin with 0.5 eq/L capacity?
```

**Response:** 
```
To treat 10,000 liters of water under these conditions, you will require 900 liters of resin.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the dimensions for a column containing 500 liters of resin if the minimum bed depth is 1.5 meters and the target flow rate is 10 m3/h?
```

**Response:** 
```
The column should have a diameter of 0.65 meters and a total height of 1.8 meters to accommodate the resin and freeboard.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much chemical is needed to regenerate 200 liters of resin with 80% efficiency?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required regenerant volume is 250 liters based on the specified efficiency and stoichiometric ratio.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the resin volume needed for my water treatment project?**
You can use the `calculate_resin_volume` tool by providing the total water volume, the influent and target contaminant concentrations, and the resin's operating capacity.

**Can this tool help me design the physical column?**
Yes, the `design_column_dimensions` tool calculates the diameter and height of the column based on your resin volume and hydraulic constraints like linear velocity.

**How do I ensure my design won't suffer from premature breakthrough?**
Use the `analyze_kinetic_suitability` tool to verify that the Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT) is sufficient for the ions to reach equilibrium with the resin.
