Flare Industries Tip Replacement

Flare Industries: A Legacy of Combustion Excellence

Flare Industries, originally based in Texas, USA, was a leading manufacturer of flare systems and combustion equipment before becoming part of Zeeco Inc. Their legacy includes a wide range of flare tips designed for smokeless operation, high-pressure environments, and custom applications. Even after the integration into Zeeco, Flare Industries designs continue to be used globally, especially in legacy installations. Their systems are known for durability, modularity, and compliance with stringent environmental standards.

Offshore Flare Tip Replacement: Three Common Approaches

Replacing flare tips offshore typically involves one of the following methods:

Crane Vessel - A heavy-lift vessel is mobilized to access the flare stack, often requiring extensive planning and high costs.

Helicopter - Used in specific cases where weight and weather conditions allow, though it's less common.

Mechanical Handling - Conbit's specialty. This method uses engineered lifting systems, rope access, and modular rigging to replace flare tips without large equipment or shutdowns.

Conbit's Mechanical Handling Method

Conbit's mechanical handling method is designed for efficiency, safety, and adaptability. Each project begins with a detailed engineering study, followed by the installation of temporary lifting structures tailored to the flare stacks geometry. Our technicians use rope access and modular rigging systems to remove and install flare tips, often while the platform remains operational. This approach is particularly effective for Flare Industries systems, which are often installed in elevated or space-constrained configurations.
