Design visbreaker units for viscosity reduction using atmospheric residue properties.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for designing visbreaker units in petroleum refining. It allows AI agents to calculate necessary conversion metrics, simulate reactor operating conditions, evaluate the tradeoff between cracking severity and fuel stability, and predict final product quality. By using get_conversion_metrics, simulate_operating_conditions, evaluate_severity_tradeoff, and calculate_product_quality, engineers can optimize the viscosity reduction process while managing fouling tendencies.

What conversion and yields do I need to reach a target viscosity of 15 cSt with this feedstock?

To reach a target viscosity of 15 cSt, the required conversion is 25%, resulting in a gas yield of 2%, naphtha yield of 8%, light oil yield of 15%, and a heavy residue yield of 75%.

What are the operating conditions for a 30% conversion level?

For a 30% conversion level, the required reactor temperature is 485°C, the residence time is 45 minutes, and the reactor pressure is 2.5 bar.

Analyze the tradeoff for a 40% conversion.

At 40% conversion, the severity index is 7.2, the stability score is 45/100, and the fouling tendency score is 65/100.

You can use the `get_conversion_metrics` tool by providing the feedstock properties and your target viscosity.
