This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing etherification units. It allows users to calculate reaction kinetics, size reactor vessels, estimate catalyst lifecycles, and evaluate feedstock viability for producing Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) or Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE). By utilizing calculate_reaction_kinetics, engineers can determine theoretical conversion limits. The design_reactor_unit tool facilitates sizing physical vessels, including support for reactive distillation to optimize yields. Additionally, estimate_catalyst_lifecycle helps predict maintenance needs, while evaluate_feedstock_viability ensures raw material availability meets production targets.

What is the theoretical conversion for methanol and isobutene at 50 degrees Celsius with a 1.1 alcohol ratio and 0.95 purity?

The theoretical conversion is 0.88 with a reaction rate constant of 0.045 and an equilibrium constant of 12.4.

I need to produce 500 kg/h of ether with 0.85 conversion. How big should my reactor be if I use reactive distillation?

The required reactor volume is 12.5 m3, with a residence time of 45 minutes and a catalyst mass of 250 kg.

Will 1000kg of methanol and 800kg of isobutene be enough for a 0.9 yield?

No, the maximum possible yield is 0.82, which is below your required 0.9 yield.

You should first use `calculate_reaction_kinetics` to get the kinetic data, then pass that data into `design_reactor_unit` along with your target production rate.
