## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing pressure oxidation (POX) circuits used to treat refractory gold ores. It enables precise calculation of autoclave sizing, oxygen requirements, and thermal management. Use `calculate_autoclave_requirements` to determine vessel volume and residence time, `calculate_oxygen_demand` to quantify oxidant needs, `estimate_thermal_load` to manage exothermic heat generation, and `design_operating_conditions` to establish optimal temperature and pressure profiles for specific ore types.

## Tools

### calculate_autoclave_requirements
Determines the physical sizing and residence requirements for the autoclave

### calculate_oxygen_demand
Calculates the total oxygen required to satisfy the oxidation of the sulfide content

### design_operating_conditions
Suggests optimal temperature and pressure settings based on the desired oxidation efficiency

### estimate_thermal_load
Estimates the heat generated by the exothermic oxidation reaction

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can I calculate with this server?**
You can calculate autoclave volume, oxygen mass flow, thermal heat generation rates, and optimal operating conditions like temperature and pressure.

**How do I determine the autoclave size?**
Use the `calculate_autoclave_requirements` tool by providing the ore throughput, solids density, and required residence time.

**Does this account for different ore types?**
Yes, the `design_operating_conditions` tool allows you to specify ore types like pyrite-rich or arsenopyrite-dominant to get tailored pressure and temperature settings.
