## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing regrind circuits in mineral processing. It allows AI agents to determine the most suitable grinding technology--such as `calculate_mill_selection` for choosing between IsaMill, Vertimill, or SMD--and calculate critical operational parameters. Users can use `estimate_power_requirements` to find energy needs, `predict_media_consumption` to forecast media wear costs, and `evaluate_circuit_efficiency` to assess the technical viability of a design based on target liberation and throughput.

## Tools

### calculate_mill_selection
Determines the most suitable grinding technology for a specific grinding task

### estimate_power_requirements
Calculates the energy needed to achieve the target liberation

### evaluate_circuit_efficiency
Provides a high-level summary of the design's viability

### predict_media_consumption
Forecasts the volume of grinding media lost to wear during operation

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Which mill should I use for a throughput of 500 tph and a target liberation of 20 microns with an ore hardness of 15?
```

**Response:** 
```
The most suitable mill for these parameters is the IsaMill.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the power needed for an SMD mill processing 300 tph at 10 microns with hardness 12.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total power required for the SMD mill is 4500 kW, with a power consumption of 15 kW per tonne.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the media wear for a Vertimill with 400 tph throughput and an ore abrasiveness of 0.5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted media consumption rate is 0.02 kg/t, with an estimated annual cost of $12,000.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I select the right mill for my ore?**
You can use the `calculate_mill_selection` tool, providing the target liberation, throughput, and ore hardness to find the optimal mill type.

**Can I estimate the cost of grinding media?**
Yes, the `predict_media_consumption` tool provides both the consumption rate and an annual cost estimate based on your specific ore properties.

**What parameters are needed for power calculations?**
To use `estimate_power_requirements`, you need to provide the throughput, target liberation, ore hardness, and the specific mill type being used.
