## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing and optimizing membrane filtration systems. It allows AI agents to calculate required membrane area using `get_system_capacity`, estimate solute buildup with `calculate_polarization_impact`, verify membrane compatibility via `validate_membrane_suitability`, and determine ideal operating parameters with `optimize_flux_settings`. It supports Microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF), and Reverse Osmosis (RO) modalities.

## Tools

### get_system_capacity
Calculates the required membrane surface area to meet a specific volumetric flow requirement

### optimize_flux_settings
Determines the ideal operating flux to balance productivity against the risk of concentration polarization

### calculate_polarization_impact
Estimates the increase in solute concentration at the membrane surface due to polarization

### validate_membrane_suitability
Checks if a specific membrane type is capable of handling the given feed characteristics and required separation
