Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Design Suite

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Design Suite MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Design FCC units for heavy oil conversion by calculating yields, circulation rates, and thermal balances.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a complete suite of engineering tools for designing Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units. It enables AI agents to model the conversion of heavy hydrocarbons into high-value products like gasoline and olefins. By using calculate_product_yields, you can determine the volume distribution of products based on feed properties and conversion targets. The suite also includes determine_catalyst_circulation to maintain heat balance, evaluate_regenerator_conditions to predict the thermal environment, and analyze_deactivation_risk to assess catalyst health based on feed contaminants and temperature.

Calculate the product yields for a VGO feed with density 0.85, CCR of 0.5, and distillation endpoint of 550, targeting 70% conversion with a catalyst activity of 0.9.

The predicted yields are: Gasoline 52.5%, LCO 18.2%, HCO 10.3%, Coke 8.5%, and Gas 10.5%.

What is the required catalyst circulation rate for a feed flow of 50,000 kg/h with a coke yield of 0.08 and a heat requirement of 1,200,000 kJ/h?

The required catalyst mass flow rate is 15,000 kg/h, resulting in a circulation ratio of 0.3.

Predict the regenerator conditions for a catalyst flow of 15,000 kg/h, a coke yield of 0.08, and an oxygen availability of 2.0.

The predicted regenerator temperature is 695°C, with a flue gas composition of 3% CO and 2% O2.

You can use the `calculate_product_yields` tool. Provide the feed properties (density, CCR, and distillation endpoint), the desired conversion target, and the catalyst activity level.
