This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing alkylation units used in refinery operations. It allows AI agents to calculate critical parameters for producing high-octane alkylate from olefin feeds. Users can determine physical reactor requirements using calculate_reactor_dimensions, predict product quality with estimate_yield_and_octane, evaluate operational costs via calculate_acid_economics, and find optimal process settings through optimize_unit_configuration. The tools account for different catalyst types, including sulfuric and hydrofluoric acid, to ensure accurate modeling of yield and octane numbers.

What is the required reactor volume for an olefin feed rate of 50 with an isobutane ratio of 1.5 using sulfuric acid?

The required reactor volume is 1250 cubic meters with a residence time of 4.5 hours.

Estimate the yield and octane number for a feed rate of 100, isobutane ratio of 2.0, and hydrofluoric acid.

The expected alkylate yield is 94% with an octane number of 96.5.

Help me optimize my unit to reach an octane of 95 using 500 units of available isobutane and sulfuric acid.

To reach an octane of 95, the recommended isobutane ratio is 1.8, which results in an expected yield of 92% and an estimated reactor volume of 850 cubic meters.

You can use the `calculate_reactor_dimensions` tool by providing the olefin feed rate, the isobutane ratio, and the catalyst type.
