## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing nitric acid production facilities. It covers the entire Ostwald process lifecycle, from initial ammonia oxidation to final environmental compliance. Users can use `calculate_oxidation_reactor_specs` to determine reactor scale, `calculate_absorption_tower_dimensions` for absorption stage requirements, and `design_nox_abatement_system` to meet emission standards. It also includes `compare_pressure_processes` to evaluate single vs dual-pressure configurations.

## Tools

### calculate_absorption_tower_dimensions
Determines the physical dimensions and requirements for the absorption tower

### calculate_oxidation_reactor_specs
Determines the required scale and parameters for the ammonia oxidation reactor

### compare_pressure_processes
Evaluates the efficiency and scale differences between single-pressure and dual-pressure designs

### design_nox_abatement_system
Calculates the requirements for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the reactor specs for 500 tons of ammonia and 2000 tons of annual capacity.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required reactor volume is 45 cubic meters with a catalyst mass of 120 kg, operating at 850°C with an expected NO yield of 96%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the absorption tower dimensions for a 60% concentration product and 5000 m3/h gas flow in a dual-pressure setup?
```

**Response:** 
```
The absorption tower requires a height of 12 meters and a diameter of 2.5 meters, with a required water flow of 150 m3/h and 98% absorption efficiency.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Design an abatement system for a tail gas flow of 1000 m3/h with an emission limit of 50 ppm NOx.
```

**Response:** 
```
The system requires 25 kg of reagent, a scrubber volume of 15 m3, and will achieve a reduction efficiency of 99.2%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions
