## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing industrial Propylene Oxide (PO) production plants. It allows users to model reactor configurations using `calculate_reactor_design`, determine oxidant needs with `estimate_peroxide_requirements`, and predict secondary product outputs via `calculate_byproduct_yields`. Additionally, it evaluates financial feasibility through `calculate_economic_impact`, accounting for co-product credits and waste management costs across CHPO, PO/TBA, and PO/SM technologies.

## Tools

### calculate_byproduct_yields
Predicts the mass of secondary products and waste generated during the process

### calculate_economic_impact
Calculates the net cost impact by factoring in co-product credits and waste treatment expenses

### calculate_reactor_design
Determines the physical dimensions and required volume of the primary reactor based on capacity and technology

### estimate_peroxide_requirements
Calculates the amount of oxidant/peroxide needed to support the target production capacity

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required reactor volume for a 100,000 mtpa plant using PO/SM technology?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required reactor volume for a 100,000 mtpa PO/SM plant is 450 cubic meters with a residence time of 4.5 hours.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much styrene will be produced by a 50,000 mtpa PO/SM plant?
```

**Response:** 
```
A 50,000 mtpa PO/SM plant will produce 35,000 metric tons of styrene annually.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the economic impact for a 200,000 mtpa CHPO plant with a waste treatment cost of 50 per ton.
```

**Response:** 
```
The net plant impact for this CHPO plant is -15,000,000 due to high waste treatment costs and zero co-product credit.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which production technologies are supported?**
The tool supports three primary technologies: CHPO (Chlorohydrin Process), PO/TBA (Propylene Oxide / Tert-Butyl Alcohol), and PO/SM (Propylene Oxide / Styrene Monomer).

**How can I calculate the reactor volume?**
You can use the `calculate_reactor_design` tool by providing the target annual capacity and the chosen production technology.

**Does the tool account for waste treatment costs?**
Yes, the `calculate_economic_impact` tool factors in the cost to treat one metric ton of waste to determine the net plant impact.
