Offshore Flare Tip Replacement: Three Viable Methods

Flare tip replacement offshore typically involves one of the following strategies:

- Crane Vessel Access: A heavy-lift vessel is deployed to reach the flare stack, often requiring extensive planning and budget.

- Helicopter Delivery: Suitable for lightweight components and favorable weather conditions, though rarely used due to limitations.

- Mechanical Handling: Conbit's preferred method. This approach uses temporary lifting structures, rope access, and modular rigging to replace flare tips without major equipment or shutdowns.

Conbit's Mechanical Handling Method

Our mechanical handling method is built around flexibility, safety, and minimal disruption. Each project begins with a tailored engineering plan, followed by the installation of temporary lifting systems adapted to the flare stack's geometry. Our rope access technicians and rigging specialists then remove the old flare tip and install the new one often while the facility remains operational. This method is particularly effective for Fives ITAS flare tips, which are often installed in elevated or compact configurations.
