Flare tip replacement and flare working
About this service:
We have developed our own A-frame for replacing flare tips weighing up to approximately 1.8 tons. When replacing flare tips, we put together a climbing team of 4 men. The actual replacement normally takes approximately 4-5 days with setting up and taking down equipment.
Typical tasks we perform when working in flame barriers:
- Flare tip replacement
- Heat shield replacement
- Replacement of flare lines and pilot lines with bolting/welding
- Flare ignition system replacement
- Flare and flare tip inspection
- Overlay welding of pitting corrosion in flare
- Surface treatment
- Installation and dismantling of equipment
- Flare preparation before replacement/installation by helicopter

Frequently asked questions about Flare tip replacement and flare working
-
What is a flare tip and why does it need to be replaced?
A flare tip is the top part of a torch (flare) used to safely burn gases in industrial processes. Over time, it is exposed to extreme temperatures and wear, requiring periodic replacement to maintain safe and efficient operation. -
How long does it take to replace a flare tip?
The actual replacement of a flare tip normally takes 4-5 days, including rigging and dismantling of equipment. The duration of the project may vary depending on weather conditions, location and complexity. -
How is the replacement of a flare tip performed?
We use a custom-designed A-frame, which can handle flare tips weighing up to 1.8 tons. A specialized climbing team of four people carries out the work, which includes dismantling the existing flare tip, installing the new one, and performing the necessary inspection and testing. -
How do you ensure safety when working in flare?
Safety is our top priority. We use certified access technicians (IRATA certified) and follow strict HSE procedures for working at height. We conduct thorough risk assessments and ensure that all equipment and personnel meet the highest safety standards. -
Can the flare replacement be carried out by helicopter?
Yes, we can assist with preparing flares for replacement or installation by helicopter, which can streamline the operation in some cases.
