## Description

This MCP server provides a complete suite of chemical engineering tools for designing phenol production plants using the cumene oxidation pathway. It allows engineers to `calculate_oxidation_parameters` to set initial reaction conditions, `design_cleavage_reactor` to specify reactor dimensions and heat duty, `estimate_product_yields` to predict phenol and acetone outputs, and `evaluate_purity_compliance` to ensure final product quality meets industrial standards.

## Tools

### calculate_oxidation_parameters
Determine the necessary physical conditions for the initial cumene oxidation stage

### design_cleavage_reactor
Specify the dimensions and operational parameters of the reactor where hydroperoxide is converted to phenol

### estimate_product_yields
Calculate the expected output of phenol and acetone based on the design parameters

### evaluate_purity_compliance
Check if the designed process can meet specific target purity standards for the final products

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the oxidation parameters for 500 units of cumene with a target capacity of 200 units of phenol.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required oxidation temperature range is 100-120°C with an oxygen requirement of 150 units and a reaction time of 4 hours.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the expected yields if I have 100 units of throughput, 0.95 conversion efficiency, and 0.92 cleavage selectivity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected yields are 87.4 units of phenol and 87.4 units of acetone, with a byproduct yield of 7.6 units.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will my process be compliant if I have 90 units of phenol and a byproduct concentration of 0.005 for a 99% target purity?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the process is not compliant. The current purity is approximately 99.5%, but the gap analysis suggests higher purification intensity is needed to meet the strict 99% threshold reliably.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the initial oxidation conditions?**
You can use the `calculate_oxidation_parameters` tool by providing the available cumene and your target phenol capacity.

**Can I check if my phenol meets purity requirements?**
Yes, the `evaluate_purity_compliance` tool checks your calculated phenol yield and byproduct concentration against your target purity.

**How is the reactor size determined?**
The `design_cleavage_reactor` tool calculates the required reactor volume and heat duty based on CHP concentration and residence time.
