Wax Deposition Predictor

Wax Deposition Predictor MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Predicts wax buildup in oil pipelines and wells to optimize maintenance.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides critical modeling tools for managing paraffin wax deposition in oil transport systems. It allows AI agents to calculate the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) using calculate_wat, estimate accumulation speeds with predict_deposition_rate, and determine maintenance schedules via estimate_pigging_interval. Additionally, it can evaluate fluid dynamics using analyze_shear_effects to understand how flow impacts wax layers. These tools help prevent flow restrictions and optimize pigging frequency in both subsea and onshore pipelines.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_wat

Determines the temperature threshold where wax starts to precipitate

analyze_shear_effects

Evaluates how much the fluid flow (shear) is stripping away or redistributing the wax layer

estimate_pigging_interval

Recommends how often the pipeline should be cleaned to prevent operational failure

predict_deposition_rate

Estimates how fast wax is accumulating at specific points in the system

What is the wax appearance temperature for a crude oil with a paraffin content of 15%?

The Wax Appearance Temperature for this crude oil composition is 32.5°C.

Calculate the deposition rate for a pipe with a 10% WAT, a temperature profile of [25, 20, 15], a flow rate of 500, and a diameter of 0.5.

The predicted deposition rates are: position 0: 0.02 mm/day, position 1: 0.05 mm/day, position 2: 0.08 mm/day.

How often should I run a pig if the deposition rate is 0.05 mm/day and the critical thickness is 2.0 mm?

The recommended pigging interval is 40 days.

You can use the `estimate_pigging_interval` tool. By providing the calculated deposition rates and the critical thickness threshold, the tool recommends a maintenance interval to prevent operational failure.
