Engineering tool for designing Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production plants.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering calculations for designing a Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) plant. It allows AI agents to model the entire production chain from p-xylene oxidation to final purification. Users can use calculate_oxidation_reactor to determine reactor sizing, design_catalyst_system to optimize chemical compositions, evaluate_purification_stage to manage 4-CBA impurity levels, and estimate_solvent_recovery to ensure acetic acid efficiency. It is designed to bridge chemical engineering expertise with AI-driven process optimization.

Calculate the reactor requirements for 50,000 tons of PTA capacity with 100,000 tons of p-xylene available at 180 degrees.

The required reactor volume is 450 cubic meters with a temperature setpoint of 180°C, yielding an estimated 48,500 tons of PTA.

What catalyst composition is needed for a 450 cubic meter reactor to achieve 99.9% purity?

To achieve 99.9% purity in a 450 cubic meter reactor, the system requires a cobalt concentration of 0.05 and a manganese concentration of 0.03.

Estimate the solvent recovery for 5000 tons of acetic acid with a 2% impurity loss rate.

The system will recover 4,900 tons of acetic acid, requiring 100 tons of makeup solvent.

You can use the `calculate_oxidation_reactor` tool by providing the available p-xylene mass, the target annual capacity, and the desired reaction temperature.
