Bioleaching Circuit Designer

Bioleaching Circuit Designer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Design bioleaching circuits by calculating reactor volumes, aeration, and retention times.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing sulfide ore bioleaching operations. It allows engineers to model both heap and tank leaching configurations by analyzing mineralogy, bacterial kinetics, and temperature profiles. Use calculate_heap_design for large-scale pile operations, calculate_tank_design for stirred-tank reactors, and compare_leaching_modes to evaluate the trade-offs between different leaching methods. The server also includes validate_microbial_viability to ensure operating temperatures align with biological kinetic constraints.

Calculate the requirements for a heap leaching operation with 5000 tonnes of ore, a bacterial activity of 0.05, and a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius.

The heap design requires a reactor volume of 12500 m3, an aeration rate of 450 m3/h, and a retention time of 15 days.

What is the tank design for a throughput of 50 tonnes per hour at 45 degrees Celsius with a bacterial activity of 0.08?

The stirred-tank reactor requires a volume of 850 m3, an aeration rate of 1200 m3/h, and a retention time of 17 hours.

Compare heap vs tank leaching for an ore with specific mineralogy, 0.04 bacterial activity, 30 degrees, and 10000 tonnes.

Heap leaching requires 25000 m3 volume, while tank leaching requires 4200 m3. Tank leaching offers 25% higher efficiency for this specific profile.

You can use the `calculate_heap_design` tool. Provide the mineralogy JSON, bacterial activity, target temperature, and total ore mass to receive the required aeration rate.
