Schmidt + Clemens offers Holistic Optimization
At any time, S+C assists in reaching the defined targets, starting far before the coil installation and covering the whole coil lifetime.Design and materials consulting, mechanical machining, system components that can be integrated and the expertise of our research and development departments make S+C more than just a “parts supplier” – we are your partner for complex components “made by S+C”.
Maximize the furnace's performance by increasing the cracking efficiency. With the optimal coil technology, the process can be tuned to maximize yield and throughput.
The following slides show a typical story of a coil during its entire life in an olefin plant. This was done in cooperation between one of our customer and Schmidt + Clemens.
In this scenario the client faces new challenges in reaching tighter emission restrictions for his steam cracking plant, while – at the same time – facing the need to increase the production.
Meanwhile the client realizes that the coils of one of his steam cracker furnaces need to be replaced.
Getting in contact with S+C he recognizes that this is a great opportunity to upgrade his furnace with latest technology and tune his process to reach his efficiency goals.
The initial starting point of the optimization is to capture the current plant performance/behavior. Therefore, we analyze the
From these results we perform a detailed furnace simulation, which allows us – together with the laboratory data – to recommend the optimal coil material and technology selection in order to reach the desired future plant performance targets.
This includes:
As soon as the recommended coil is delivered, we assist in a correct on time installation well as a start-up of the furnace.
With these services a smooth and undisturbed start up of the new coil is ensured.
This includes:
When your furnace is running smoothly after startup, we are at your disposal for continuous furnace monitoring and performance tracking.
This includes:
In rare cases, unforeseen challenges may arise during operation.
S+C is there to support clients in such situations, working together to find the right solutions.
This includes:
In Life, things are changing sometimes.
After overcoming one challenge, new operational requirements may emerge, requiring adjustments to process conditions.
S+C supports clients in adapting smoothly to such changes.
S+C assists in predicting the impact with data analysis and simulation tools, including process optimization for the new set points. Also, in case of changing furnace personnel we provide high level training classes so that high quality furnace operation will be possible for new people after a short time.
This includes:
When operational settings change, the maintenance strategy must be adapted accordingly. Different set points can alter the mechanical and thermal loads on the coils, making a tailored approach essential.
S+C supports on keeping the maintenance efficient.
This includes:
At the end of coil life, when the full recoiling is scheduled, the loop starts again.
Based on the experience from the current cycle, further improvements are made. Revision of customer targets and maintenance of solutions.
This includes:
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 knowledge and experience to deliver precise and understandable results, as well as advise you according to your particular needs.
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.
We are your partner for emergency repairs, overhauls, maintenance and modernization of furnaces in steam cracker, steam reformers and direct reduction of iron ore (DRI) plants. Schmidt + Clemens On-Site-Services supports you during your shutdown. In this field, S+C has gained worldwide experience by completing more than 200 projects in 30 countries.
