## Description

This MCP server provides critical modeling tools for managing paraffin wax deposition in oil transport systems. It allows AI agents to calculate the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) using `calculate_wat`, estimate accumulation speeds with `predict_deposition_rate`, and determine maintenance schedules via `estimate_pigging_interval`. Additionally, it can evaluate fluid dynamics using `analyze_shear_effects` to understand how flow impacts wax layers. These tools help prevent flow restrictions and optimize pigging frequency in both subsea and onshore pipelines.

## Tools

### calculate_wat
Determines the temperature threshold where wax starts to precipitate

### analyze_shear_effects
Evaluates how much the fluid flow (shear) is stripping away or redistributing the wax layer

### estimate_pigging_interval
Recommends how often the pipeline should be cleaned to prevent operational failure

### predict_deposition_rate
Estimates how fast wax is accumulating at specific points in the system

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the wax appearance temperature for a crude oil with a paraffin content of 15%?
```

**Response:** 
```
The Wax Appearance Temperature for this crude oil composition is 32.5°C.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the deposition rate for a pipe with a 10% WAT, a temperature profile of [25, 20, 15], a flow rate of 500, and a diameter of 0.5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted deposition rates are: position 0: 0.02 mm/day, position 1: 0.05 mm/day, position 2: 0.08 mm/day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How often should I run a pig if the deposition rate is 0.05 mm/day and the critical thickness is 2.0 mm?
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended pigging interval is 40 days.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine when to clean my pipeline?**
You can use the `estimate_pigging_interval` tool. By providing the calculated deposition rates and the critical thickness threshold, the tool recommends a maintenance interval to prevent operational failure.

**What is the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT)?**
The WAT is the temperature threshold where wax crystals begin to precipitate from the crude oil. You can find this value using the `calculate_wat` tool by providing the crude oil composition.

**Can this tool account for fluid flow effects?**
Yes, the `analyze_shear_effects` tool evaluates how fluid flow (shear) strips away or redistributes the wax layer based on flow rate, pipe diameter, and viscosity.
