Technical modeling for styrene monomer production via ethylbenzene dehydrogenation.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing styrene monomer production plants. It models the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene (EB) to calculate critical reactor parameters, process efficiency, and energy requirements. Use get_reactor_design to determine reactor volume and residence time, calculate_process_efficiency to evaluate yield and mass balance, evaluate_heat_integration to analyze energy recovery, and estimate_catalyst_lifecycle to predict catalyst lifespan based on operating conditions.

What is the required reactor volume for a production of 50,000 tons of styrene with 40,000 tons of EB available and a steam-to-oil ratio of 1.5?

The required reactor volume is 125.5 m³ with a residence time of 1.2 seconds.

Calculate the efficiency if conversion is 0.65, selectivity is 0.92, actual yield is 25,000, and theoretical yield is 30,000.

The yield efficiency is 0.83, with a byproduct ratio of 0.08 and a successful mass balance closure.

Estimate the remaining catalyst life if the current age is 6 months, operating temperature is 600C, and steam-to-oil ratio is 2.0.

The remaining lifespan is 14 months, with a predicted coking rate of 0.02 per month.

You can use the `get_reactor_design` tool by providing the target capacity, available ethylbenzene, and the desired steam-to-oil ratio.
