## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for designing visbreaker units in petroleum refining. It allows AI agents to calculate necessary conversion metrics, simulate reactor operating conditions, evaluate the tradeoff between cracking severity and fuel stability, and predict final product quality. By using `get_conversion_metrics`, `simulate_operating_conditions`, `evaluate_severity_tradeoff`, and `calculate_product_quality`, engineers can optimize the viscosity reduction process while managing fouling tendencies.

## Tools

### calculate_product_quality
Predict the final properties of the heavy residue after the visbreaking process

### evaluate_severity_tradeoff
Analyze the balance between the intensity of cracking and the quality of the resulting fuel

### get_conversion_metrics
Determine the necessary conversion and product distribution required to reach a specific viscosity target

### simulate_operating_conditions
Identify the temperature and residence time needed to achieve a specific conversion level

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What conversion and yields do I need to reach a target viscosity of 15 cSt with this feedstock?
```

**Response:** 
```
To reach a target viscosity of 15 cSt, the required conversion is 25%, resulting in a gas yield of 2%, naphtha yield of 8%, light oil yield of 15%, and a heavy residue yield of 75%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the operating conditions for a 30% conversion level?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 30% conversion level, the required reactor temperature is 485°C, the residence time is 45 minutes, and the reactor pressure is 2.5 bar.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Analyze the tradeoff for a 40% conversion.
```

**Response:** 
```
At 40% conversion, the severity index is 7.2, the stability score is 45/100, and the fouling tendency score is 65/100.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I determine the required conversion for a specific viscosity?**
You can use the `get_conversion_metrics` tool by providing the feedstock properties and your target viscosity.

**Does this tool help manage the stability vs. fouling tradeoff?**
Yes, the `evaluate_severity_tradeoff` tool specifically analyzes the balance between cracking intensity and the resulting fuel quality, including stability and fouling tendency.

**Can I predict the final residue properties?**
Yes, the `calculate_product_quality` tool predicts final viscosity, density, sulfur content, and fouling tendency based on the planned conversion.
