## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to design propylene production facilities. It allows users to model different chemical pathways including Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH), Methanol to Olefins (MTO), and Metathesis. Use `calculate_reactor_specs` to determine physical vessel requirements, `design_catalyst_system` to specify catalyst mass and type, and `estimate_propylene_yield` to calculate output efficiency. You can also use `validate_process_feasibility` to audit if a specific feedstock and technology combination is chemically viable.

## Tools

### design_catalyst_system
Specifies the necessary catalyst mass and type to support the production capacity

### calculate_reactor_specs
Determines the physical requirements and operational parameters of the reactor based on the chosen technology

### estimate_propylene_yield
Calculates the expected output efficiency of the plant

### validate_process_feasibility
An audit tool to check if the combination of feedstock, technology, and capacity is chemically and economically viable

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the reactor specifications for a PDH plant with a capacity of 50000 metric tons using propane.
```

**Response:** 
```
The reactor for your PDH plant requires a volume of 1250 m³, a thermal load of 450 MW, an operating temperature of 620°C, and a pressure of 1.5 bar.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the expected propylene yield for an MTO process with 10000 tons of methanol?
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected propylene yield is 4200 metric tons, with a conversion rate of 42% and a byproduct profile primarily consisting of ethylene.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it feasible to use ethylene for a metathesis process with a capacity of 20000 tons?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the process is viable with a low risk level, provided the stoichiometric availability of the olefin feedstock is maintained.
```
