Our Services
A range of services at your disposalWe at Schmidt + Clemens have more than 145 years of experience in the field of metallurgy and have been the market leader in high-alloyed steel and Ni-based components for high temperature applications, such as steam crackers, steam reformers and direct reduction for decades.
However, manufacturing high quality products is not enough. To this effect, we established our own specialized Research & Development Services department in 2009. Our know-how, technical abilities and state-of-the-art equipment and software speak for themselves!
Advanced Engineering Services
Tailored instead of standardComplex processes require well-thought-out solutions. With our Advanced Engineering Services, we aim to offer customer support that goes beyond the product.
Whether steam cracker, steam reformer or DRI plant – S+C’s Advanced Engineering Services combine in-depth material expertise with industry-specific know-how. Every service is as individual as our customers’ requirements – for maximum efficiency, safety, and performance in operation.
Laboratory Services
In-house certified
Our certified laboratory offers independent destructive and non-destructive metal testing services based on current standards.
Working with high-end, state-of-the-art testing and investigation equipment, we are able to use our know-how and experience to deliver precise and understandable results, as well as advise you according to your particular needs.
Metallurgical Investigations
Metallurgy is our core competence and tradition
Part of our success as a manufacturer and supplier is rooted in the excellent support we offer our customers. Providing further services is only a natural development!
We can investigate components with regards to their condition or in case of failure. We offer a variety of sample testing for different industries and offer customized service packages.
On-Site Services
Plant support - next level
Our experts offer advice all along the way, from the planning stage to setting up the construction site to starting up the plant and putting it back into operation - day and night from the very first second.
S+C is there, we ensure that you'll only work with highly qualified professionals with worldwide working experience and unique skill sets, who always focus fully on the economical and safe installation in your plant.
Service Solutions for the Petrochemical and Steel Industry
From metallurgy expertise to tailored process optimization – we are your partner for maximum efficiency and reliability.Metallurgy is our core competence – and the foundation of our tradition. But true added value emerges when know-how meets service. At Schmidt + Clemens, we support our customers not only with high-performance materials and components, but also with comprehensive services: from detailed failure analyses and sample testing to customized optimization concepts for coils and complete furnace systems. Through close cooperation, ongoing data exchange, and our detailed process expertise, we deliver tailored solutions that enhance efficiency, availability, and lifetime of your plants. With S+C, you benefit from a partner who looks beyond industry standards – to create sustainable improvements and innovative opportunities for your production.
Steam Cracker
Services
Whether metallurgical investigations, the optimization of process parameters or targeted adjustments to coil hardware – S+C offers a comprehensive service portfolio for steam cracker applications.
With our Condition Monitoring Services, operational data can be analyzed, wear detected at an early stage, and unplanned shutdowns effectively avoided. Every detail becomes a lever for increasing efficiency, safety, and service life.
Steam Reformer
Services
For steam reformers, monitoring the internal condition is one of the key success factors. With ID Baseline Measurement, S+C records the condition of the inner tube as a reference for future comparisons – an essential tool for long-term condition analysis.
Tube Growth Monitoring enables the early identification of uneven tube elongation to avoid structural stress and consequential damage.
Complemented by metallurgical investigations, this creates a comprehensive understanding of material behavior, aging processes, and mechanical stability during ongoing operation.
DRI
Services
Direct reduction places the highest demands on materials and plant systems – especially under the influence of hydrogen or natural gas.
Through metallurgical investigations, the OD Measurement Device, and our CLD system, S+C provides crucial insights into material behavior, inner tube condition, and mechanical changes during operation. This enables early assessment of the plant’s structural integrity – and ensures long-term operational safety.
