Concentrator Capacity Expansion Evaluator

Concentrator Capacity Expansion Evaluator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Evaluates capital expenditures and economic viability for concentrator capacity increases.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for mining engineers and financial analysts to evaluate concentrator capacity expansion. It allows for comparing different strategies like debottlenecking versus new line installation. Use analyze_expansion_options to determine physical and financial characteristics, calculate_expansion_economics to find net value and annualized return, compare_expansion_strategies to rank options by efficiency, and validate_constraints to ensure proposed expansions stay within physical site limits.

Compare two expansion options: a debottlenecking option with 50 units added at 100 cost, and a new line with 200 units added at 500 cost. Revenue per unit is 10 and life is 5 years.

The new line is the most efficient option with a net value of 500 and an efficiency ratio of 1.0, compared to the debottlenecking option which has a net value of 400.

Is it feasible to add 500 units of capacity if the current capacity is 1000 and the max facility limit is 1200?

No, the expansion is infeasible because the resulting total capacity of 1500 exceeds the maximum facility limit of 1200.

Calculate the economics for an expansion with 100 incremental capacity, 50 CAPEX, 20 revenue per unit, and a 10 year life.

The expansion has a total CAPEX of 50, total incremental revenue of 2000, a net value of 1950, and an annualized return of 195.

You can use `analyze_expansion_options` to get the characteristics of both paths, then use `compare_expansion_strategies` to rank them based on net value.
