## Description

This MCP server provides a complete suite of tools for designing and simulating Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) production plants. It models the complex chemical relationships between ethylene, chlorine, and HCl. Users can use `calculate_plant_configuration` to determine the necessary scale for chlorination and cracking units, `evaluate_feedstock_requirements` to calculate raw material needs, `simulate_process_imbalance` to analyze feedstock shortages, and `check_feasibility` to validate designs against available chemical stockpiles.

## Tools

### calculate_plant_configuration
Determines the required scale of all major plant components based on target VCM production

### check_feasibility
Validates if a proposed plant design can operate within the constraints of available chemical stockpiles

### evaluate_feedstock_requirements
Calculates the necessary quantities of ethylene and chlorine to support the plant design

### simulate_process_imbalance
Analyzes the impact of feedstock shortages or capacity mismatches on the plant equilibrium

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the plant configuration for a target VCM capacity of 500,000 tons with a balanced process.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required capacities are: chlorination 250,000, oxychlorination 250,000, and cracking furnace 500,000, with an HCl balance of 0.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What happens if I only have 100,000 units of ethylene available for a plant with 200,000 units of chlorination capacity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The actual VCM output will be limited to 100,000 units due to the ethylene deficit.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if a design with 300,000 chlorination capacity is feasible with 250,000 units of ethylene and 200,000 units of chlorine.
```

**Response:** 
```
The design is not feasible. The limiting factor is ethylene.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the required capacity for my plant?**
You can use the `calculate_plant_configuration` tool by providing your target VCM capacity and specifying if you want a balanced process.

**Can I simulate feedstock shortages?**
Yes, the `simulate_process_imbalance` tool allows you to analyze how limited ethylene availability affects your VCM output and HCl surplus.

**How is feasibility checked?**
The `check_feasibility` tool compares your proposed plant capacities against your current ethylene and chlorine stockpiles to identify any limiting factors.
