Catalytic Reactor Design Engine MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Computational engine for sizing and profiling catalytic reactors.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a suite of chemical engineering tools to design and analyze catalytic reactors. It integrates reaction kinetics with transport phenomena to calculate essential parameters. Use calculate_catalyst_requirement to determine the necessary mass for a specific conversion target, estimate_reactor_volume to size the vessel, generate_temperature_profile to predict thermal behavior, and evaluate_mass_transfer_limitations to identify if the process is limited by external or internal transport.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_catalyst_requirement

Determines the total mass of catalyst needed to achieve a specific conversion target

evaluate_mass_transfer_limitations

Determines if the reaction is limited by how fast reactants move to the catalyst (external) or into the catalyst (internal)

generate_temperature_profile

Predicts how temperature changes throughout the reactor length

estimate_reactor_volume

Calculates the physical volume required for the reactor vessel based on catalyst mass and density

How much catalyst do I need for a reaction with a rate constant of 0.5, order 1, and initial concentration of 2.0 to reach 80% conversion?

To achieve 80% conversion with those parameters, the required catalyst weight is 12.5 kg.

What is the reactor volume for 50kg of catalyst with a bulk density of 1200 kg/m3 and a void fraction of 0.4?

The total reactor volume required is 0.107 m3, with a bed volume of 0.042 m3.

Is my reaction limited by internal diffusion if the diffusion coefficient is 1e-5 and the reaction rate is 0.1?

The reaction is currently limited by Internal mass transfer.

You can use the `calculate_catalyst_requirement` tool by providing the reaction rate constant, reaction order, and initial concentration.
