Zenith Brochure - Flare tip

The old flare tip is released and lowered to the FPSO/Platform deck or to a service vessel as in the case of a boom arm. The new flare tip is then lifted and secured into position. Any service lines can be repaired/replaced at this stage. The temporary works lifting frame and any temporary access are then removed, allowing the flare tip to go back online. We have pioneered the design of a purpose-built lifting frame to improve the process of replacing flare tips. The lifting frame is positioned directly below the termination point of the flare stack thereby negating the use of expensive barge cranes or helicopters. The lifting frame has been designed to take the weight of the old tip as it is lowered to the deck and is designed to lift the new replacement tip into position. This innovative solution to a complex and expensive problem is now being adopted on FPSO’s and offshore platforms around the world, and is an excellent example of our design capabilities delivering significant commercial benefits often in remote and demanding locations. Temporary Lifting Frame Fabrication > The temporary lifting frame is designed and fabricated for offshore and ship dynamics. > Ship surge, sway and heave acceleration. > On-board lift dynamic. > Brackets for installation access support are built into the lifting frame steelwork for quick and safe installation.
