Chemical engineering simulation for MTBE synthesis and reactor design.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized chemical engineering tools for designing Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) production plants. It allows engineers to model the synthesis kinetics of methanol and isobutene. Use calculate_reactor_design_tool to determine vessel specifications, estimate_catalyst_needs_tool for catalyst requirements, simulate_reactive_distillation_tool to evaluate separation efficiency, and optimize_methanol_recovery_tool to maximize feedstock recycling.

Calculate the reactor design for 50 units of isobutene and 60 units of methanol with a 0.95 target conversion.

The required reactor volume is 125.5 m³, operating at 75°C and 15 bar, requiring 45.2 kg of catalyst.

What is the methanol recovery if I have 10 units of excess methanol and 0.85 recovery efficiency?

The recovered methanol is 8.5 units, with 1.5 units wasted, resulting in a recycling efficiency of 85%.

Estimate catalyst needs for a production capacity of 500 MTBE/hr with a reaction rate constant of 0.05.

The total catalyst mass required is 250 kg, with a volume of 180 L and an estimated lifespan of 12 months.

You can calculate reactor volumes, catalyst mass, distillation purity, and methanol recovery rates using the provided engineering tools.
