Schulz+Partner GmbH - Services
Schulz+Partner is your partner for thermal process engineering and the processing of process fluids. We not only offer optimisation options for existing systems and processes, but also provide all planning and development work for the construction of chemical and industrial installations.
Preliminary planning/ Feasibility studies
Laboratory tests and pilot plants
Basic- and Detail Engineering
Construction/ 3D Modelling/ technical communication
Service/ After-Sales-Service
Feasibility studies are performance phases that we offer to our customers and partners. These are comprehensive studies and serve in detail to identify information of a project. It takes into account risks, points of view and conditions such as time frame, costs and quality.
The aim of a feasibility study is to determine whether the project will be continued, redesigned or completely given up.
Following points will be worked out in exchange with our customers:
The choice of materials always depends on the type of application. We select only high-quality and durable materials to guarantee high process reliability as
well as a long service life of our systems.
For example, we use:
Depending on the media, the tanks and heat exchangers are provided with rubber coatings, PFA, E-CTFE or Blue Amor coatings, or lined with PVDF, graphite or PTFE. Heat exchangers are used impregnated with graphite or silicon carbide amongst others.
Acids
Polymers
Solvents
We not only offer all planning and development work for the construction of new chemical and industrial installations, but also optimisation options for existing systems and processes. Older systems in particular have great energy saving potentials. Recognising these and optimising them is today more sensible than ever. Thanks to our technical laboratory and test laboratory in conjunction with suitable PC software such as ChemCAD and not least thanks to our wealth of experience, we can, for example, optimally convert your systems to operation with new media and at the same time demonstrate energy-efficient solutions.
We work with software such as
ChemCAD | primarily for process optimisation and design |
HTRI | for heat exchanger and apparatus design |
Siemens S7, TIA Portal | for programming and system control |
WinCC flexible | for visualising the system control |
Autodesk Inventor / Plant 3D | 3-dimensional construction and drawings |
AutoCAD | 2-dimensional drawing and planning |
Axavia | Configuration software |
and various others...
For our customers and partners, we offer customized solutions.
For research or upscaling, it is often necessary to carry out feasibility tests on a laboratory or pilot plant scale.
For special analyzes, we include appropriate laboratories.
The experiments can be designed in different variants and together with the customer.
... are also available to rent upon consultation
Process simulation, supplemented by pilot tests in our laboratory and pilot plant, forms the basis for a safe and optimal design of our plants.
The constant development and innovation of new technologies continue to ensure the fulfillment of the high demands of our customers in terms of economic efficiency and operational reliability of our products.
The design is based on the objective of a project. It leads to a work status of the documentation, with which the system to be designed is sufficiently defined for the actual execution.
The definition must be sufficient to describe performances qualitatively, to calculate costs incurred, to inquire services from subcontractors and to prepare appropriate official documents.
When planning the design, all parties involved in the project are informed comprehensively at the kick-off meetings about the state of planning, in order to ensure a smooth process. At these meetings, it is important to us to avoid misunderstandings and plan together in a structured way.
For these reasons, we give importance to a structured approach:
Continuing and deepening the design is the Detail Engineering. This is to provide all documents for installation, operation, commissioning and service.
The timing and organization of the detail engineering depends on the overall scope of the project.
We define the conditions for the temporal coordination as important milestones.
We perform the duties in following order:
We make our designs within a customers assignment as a part of a project. Due to increasing expertise and quality, we are gaining approval from our partners.
We gain customers to assist in the planning stages or the design process, its documentation
incl. the complete manufacturing process. This makes the construction in cooperation with the engineering one of our service pillars.
With Autodesk Inventor, Plant 3D and our know-how, we are able to represent and handle the complete technical communication with good quality.
We ensure our service for the sustainable quality of the supplied process plants. The service can be used throughout the lifetime of a system and provides professional support to our customers. The after-sales service and customer care offers a high value and is characterized by:
Our After-Sales-Service offers:
In-house electricians and assembly staff manage and execute the final assembly.
Our specialists have many years of experience, qualifications and SCC training. They offer customers, a high level of safety.
Qualifications for special requirements are available, for example, installations in hazardous area or qualifications as a health and safety coordinator according to construction site regulations.
The advantage that we have, is the cooperation and the intensive information exchange of experiences with our planners. This concept allows our staff to perform the installation, assembly and the connections safely and smoothly.
The digital automation is for the operation of processes and process plants in factories, with minimal human intervention, and is nowadays indispensable.
We deliver process plants with their own control system. After commissioning, the programm will be provided to the customer.
However, it may happen that the systems control need to be implemented in an existing customer PCS (process control system) in the manner of the Industry 4.0 Evolution.
We support our customers in such processes and offer these as an independent service, including documentation and remote diagnostics together with their cooperation partners.
For the program we prefer SIEMENS Step 7, TIA Portal.
For HMI / displays we use ProTool, WinCC Flexible, InVisu.
In online remote diagnostics and online updates for the programs, we work with the classic VPN tunneling, the convenient and
safe SINEMA RC system from SIEMENS.
Pre-Commissioning
After the installation and assembly phase and before delivery, the mechanical and electrical installation will be pre-inspected by our skilled engineers and workers.
We perform the following aprovements and issue corresponding test certificates and protocols:
After the internal pre-acceptance, it is possible to carry out a
FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) with our customers.
Commissioning
Commissioning takes place at the end customer or operator at the planned installation site.
If pre-commissioning has been carried out, the connecting and connecting interfaces can now be checked and logged accordingly.
However, the following work is carried out before commissioning the product:
After commissioning with product, and after the personnel briefing,
finally a SAT (Site Acceptance Test) can be carried out on site.
Experience has shown that a process plant can only function as efficiently and trouble-free the plant operator or the maintenance personnel is taking care of it. It is often the case that in the event of a personal change or replacement of operators, the plant experience or know-how is not transferred. Due to not knowing how to handle the plant in certain situations, risks of accidents possibly even unexpected expenses and repair costs arise. This makes the training of operators and supervising specialists indispensable.
After each start-up, we assign the appropriate persons and groups. Even after a final acceptance, briefings and training can be done at any time.
