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.

Service Capabilities:
  • Metallurgical Investigations
  • Process Parameter Optimisation
  • Coil Hardware Optimisation
  • Condition Monitoring Service
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.

Service Capabilities:
  • Metallurgical Investigations
  • ID Baseline Measurement
  • Tube Growth Monitoring
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.

Service Capabilities:
  • Metallurgical Investigations
  • OD Measurement Device
  • Catalyst Level Detector
  • DRI Cloud
