Flare Radiation Modeling

Flare Radiation Modeling MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate thermal radiation intensity, exclusion zones, and stack heights using API 521 standards.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides technical simulation tools for flare systems based on the API 521 standard. It allows AI agents to model thermal radiation intensity, identify safety exclusion zones for personnel and equipment, and determine the minimum required stack height. The tools account for flare type, gas composition, mass flow rates, wind-induced flame tilt, and solar radiation to ensure accurate safety modeling.

What is the radiation intensity at 50 meters for an elevated flare with a methane-heavy gas composition and a flow rate of 10 kg/s?

The calculated radiation intensity at 50 meters is 4.2 kW/m².

Calculate the required stack height for an elevated flare to keep ground radiation below 1.5 kW/m² given a 10 kg/s flow rate and 5 m/s wind.

The minimum required stack height is 24.5 meters.

What is the personnel exclusion zone for a ground flare with a flow rate of 5 kg/s and a wind speed of 10 m/s?

The personnel exclusion radius is 32.0 meters.

The `determine_exclusion_zones` and `calculate_required_stack_height` tools incorporate wind speed to model flame tilt, which shifts the radiation profile and affects safety distances.
