This MCP server provides specialized chemical engineering tools for designing binary distillation columns. It allows AI agents to perform complex separation calculations using the McCabe-Thiele or Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland (FUG) methods. Users can determine the number of theoretical stages with calculate_theoretical_stages, convert them to physical trays using calculate_actual_stages, find the optimal entry point with optimize_feed_location, and size the column width via estimate_column_diameter.

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

calculate_actual_stages

Converts theoretical equilibrium stages into the real-world number of physical trays needed

calculate_theoretical_stages

Determines the number of equilibrium stages required for a specific separation

estimate_column_diameter

Calculates the required physical width of the column to handle liquid and vapor loads

optimize_feed_location

Identifies the most efficient tray to introduce the feed to the column

Calculate the theoretical stages for a separation with a feed composition of 0.5, distillate of 0.95, bottoms of 0.05, relative volatility of 2.5, and a reflux ratio of 1.5 using McCabe-Thiele.

The required number of theoretical stages is 12, with a minimum reflux of 1.1 and the optimal feed stage located at stage 6.

I have 15 theoretical stages and a Murphree efficiency of 0.7. How many actual trays do I need?

You will need 21 actual trays.

Find the optimal feed stage for 20 total stages, feed composition 0.4, distillate 0.9, and relative volatility 2.0.

The optimal feed stage is stage 11, providing a feed concentration match of 0.39.

The server supports the McCabe-Thiele method for graphical/analytical stage determination and the Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland (FUG) shortcut method.
