## Description

This MCP server provides a specialized suite of chemical engineering tools for designing stripping columns. It allows engineers to calculate the required number of equilibrium stages using `calculate_stages_and_efficiency`, compare different stripping agents with `evaluate_stripping_agent`, minimize operational costs via `optimize_gas_requirements`, and ensure design viability with `validate_column_feasibility`. It acts as a bridge between complex mass transfer equations and AI-driven engineering workflows.

## Tools

### calculate_stages_and_efficiency
Determines the number of equilibrium stages required and the resulting removal efficiency

### evaluate_stripping_agent
Compares different stripping agents to determine which is most suitable

### optimize_gas_requirements
Finds the minimum gas rate required to achieve a specific removal goal

### validate_column_feasibility
Checks if a proposed column design is physically and chemically viable

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the stages and efficiency for a feed with 10% benzene, a gas rate of 50, and an equilibrium constant of 2.5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The design requires 4 equilibrium stages to achieve an actual efficiency of 0.88.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which agent is best for a feed with 5% volatiles if I need 90% efficiency? Options: Nitrogen (K=1.5), Air (K=1.2).
```

**Response:** 
```
Nitrogen is the best agent as it meets the 90% efficiency requirement with lower gas consumption.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a design with 5 stages and a gas rate of 20 feasible for a component with K=3.0 and 5% feed concentration?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the design is feasible with a safety margin of 0.15.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the number of stages needed?**
You can use the `calculate_stages_and_efficiency` tool by providing the liquid feed composition, the gas rate, and the equilibrium constant.

**Can I compare different stripping agents?**
Yes, the `evaluate_stripping_agent` tool compares multiple agents to find the most efficient one for your specific feed composition.

**How can I reduce operational costs?**
Use `optimize_gas_requirements` to find the minimum gas rate required to meet your target removal efficiency.
