What can I calculate with this tool?

You can calculate pad area, stack stability, irrigation rates, and the total duration of the leach cycle using specialized engineering models.

How do I ensure my stack is stable?

Use the `validate_stack_stability_tool` by providing the proposed height, ore density, and the angle of repose to check the safety factor.

Can I optimize irrigation for different ore types?

Yes, the `optimize_irrigation_flow_tool` uses ore permeability to calculate the ideal irrigation rate and assess flooding risks.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides specialized hydrometallurgical engineering tools for designing heap leach pads used in gold and copper extraction. It allows engineers to calculate pad footprints, optimize irrigation rates to prevent flooding, validate stack stability based on ore density and angle of repose, and estimate total leach cycle durations. Use calculate_pad_footprint_tool to determine surface area, optimize_irrigation_flow_tool for fluid dynamics, validate_stack_stability_tool for structural safety, and estimate_leach_duration_tool for process timing.
