Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) Plant Designer

Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) Plant Designer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Engineering tool for modeling LAB production from kerosene and benzene.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to design and model a Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) production plant. It allows for precise calculation of feedstock requirements using calculate_feedstock_requirements, sizing of the dehydrogenation unit via size_dehydrogenation_unit, and modeling of the alkylation reactor with design_alkylation_reactor. Finally, users can assess the entire system's performance using evaluate_plant_yield. It supports both HF and solid catalyst modeling to ensure accurate plant design.

How much benzene and kerosene do I need for a 50,000 ton LAB capacity with a 0.9 yield?

To achieve a 50,000 ton capacity with a 0.9 yield, you require 55,555.56 tons of total feedstock, consisting of the calculated benzene and kerosene amounts.

What is the reactor volume needed for a kerosene feedrate of 100 with a benzene feedrate of 50 using a solid catalyst at 150 degrees?

The required reactor volume is 450 cubic meters with a residence time of 4.5 hours.

Calculate the dehydrogenation unit capacity for a kerosene feedrate of 200 and 0.85 conversion efficiency.

The required unit capacity is 200 units, with 30 units of unconverted alkanes remaining.

The server supports modeling for both HF (Hydrogen Fluoride) and solid acid catalysts through the `design_alkylation_reactor` tool.
