Design optimal methane drainage layouts and vacuum requirements for gassy coal mines.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing methane drainage systems in high-gas coal mines. It allows AI agents to calculate optimal borehole spacing using calculate_borehole_layout, determine mechanical suction needs with evaluate_vacuum_needs, and predict system performance via estimate_capture_efficiency. Engineers can also use analyze_mine_safety_risk to ensure designs meet safety standards for specific mine layouts like longwall or room-and-pillar configurations.

Calculate the borehole layout for a coal seam with a gas content of 15 and permeability of 0.5, aiming for a 90% capture rate.

The optimal layout requires a borehole spacing of 12.5 meters with an estimated 45 holes needed for the target area.

What are the vacuum requirements for an emission rate of 500 with a spacing of 15 in a low-permeability seam?

The system requires a vacuum pressure of 25 kPa and a pump capacity of 1200 m3/h.

Is a design with 85% capture efficiency safe for a longwall mine with an emission rate of 400?

The risk level is low with a safety margin of 15% for this longwall configuration.

You can use the `calculate_borehole_layout` tool by providing the gas content, coal permeability, and your target capture rate.
