Flare operators are constantly and intensively focused on maximizing operating availability and minimizing down time for their flare systems.
Liberty Flare, LLC. has developed proprietary tools and techniques which are designed for refinery, chemical, petrochemical, production and offshore flare structures. These systems can deploy and retract a variety of critical components from the ground level:
- Electronic pilots
- Flame front generator (FFG) pilots
- Removable pilots (Supplemental pilots)
- HEI ignition systems
- Single or multiple thermocouples
- Single or multiple aviation lighting systems.
LIBERTY FLARE HAS INSTALLED AND FIELD TESTED THE RETRACTABLE MESSENGER CABLE SYSTEM ON FLARE STRUCTURES UP TO 500 FEET TALL
Liberty Flare’s Retractable Messenger Cable Systems (RMCSTM) can support multiple functions. For example, one retractable system can be used to attach an automatic/manual FFG pilot with airborne flame front ignition, or dual aviation lights.
In addition, Liberty’s proprietary Retractable Thermocouple design allows for smooth replacement of multiple thermocouples from one location. This flexibility saves cost while maximizing your compliance and uptime.
Adverse weather (wind and hail storms, hurricanes, tornadoes) and upset / flaring conditions present intense operating challenges and threaten your operating utility. Our Retractable Messenger Cable Systems and other proprietary designs allow operators to easily access elevated flare pilots, ignition systems, thermocouples, aviation lighting systems and lightning protection systems from the ground level. Liberty’s proprietary solution facilitates preventive or critical maintenance, repairs, upgrades and replacements without shutting down your flare system.
In under an hour, your staff can bring mounted equipment to grade for inspection and maintenance and then return it to the operating position. Consider the benefits and avoided costs in complying with federal, state and local air quality requirements; Liberty’s retractable systems represent a best practice in the industrial flare industry, and are manufactured with premium materials and state-of-the-art engineering and design.
This system can be installed during routine maintenance with minimal time requirements. The elimination of future downtime – and the avoidance of non-compliance fines and expenses for improper flare pilot operation – will far exceed your investment in the RMCS system.
Liberty Flare has manufactured our proprietary Retractable Systems for over thirty years, and have delivered RMCS systems all over the world. Our current designs incorporate the most reliable materials and the best practices developed from operating experience shared by our clients.
Don’t make the mistake of planning a maintenance turnaround or shutdown without incorporating Liberty Flare into your flare maintenance program.

Liberty Flare uses an innovative approach for replacing failed thermocouples. Our proprietary design for Retractable Thermocouples allows preventative and critical maintenance, troubleshooting and inspection from the ground level and without shutting down your critical flare system.
On existing traditional flare designs, the flare must be shut down for the initial thermocouple installation. Thereafter, the flare can be on-line and the thermocouples be replaced anytime from grade. This allows enhanced compliance with all governmental regulatory bodies, and maximizes uptime for your process.
Liberty’s design incorporates these industry-leading features:
- Uses stainless steel pipe in the heat zone to ensure durability and corrosion resistance
- Specialty tubing construction and design to allow for smooth installation
- Proprietary Pushers and Straighteners designed and fabricated by Liberty
- Innovative connection and hanging system to prevent hang-ups and installation problems
This proprietary system is designed to be retrofitted to existing systems or included into the engineering of new systems. Liberty’s proprietary design is now being used by major chemical plants and refineries at heights up to five hundred feet.

Liberty Flare’s retractable aviation lighting system utilizes our proprietary Retractable Messenger Cable System (RMCSTM). RMCS is the leading retractable aviation lighting system on the market, allowing electrical wiring (power supply) and fixtures/bulbs (LED or 300mm glass beacons) to be maintained or replaced while the flare is in operation.
This system can be installed during routine maintenance with minimal time requirements and the elimination of future downtime for aviation lighting maintenance will far exceed your investment in the RMCS system.
Liberty Flare invented the Messenger system, and has manufactured our proprietary retractable systems for over thirty years. We’ve delivered RMCS products all over the world. Our current designs incorporate the most reliable materials and the best practices developed from operating experience shared by our clients.
The RCMS can be designed to install multiple lights on one system, allowing aviation lighting to be installed at multiple levels or in multiple locations on the same stack. Contact us with questions about your particular needs.
Don’t make the mistake of planning a maintenance turnaround or shutdown without incorporating the Liberty RMCS into your flare maintenance program. Liberty just completed the fabrication of a world class RMCS system containing nine retractables and over 25 fixtures. Wouldn’t you like to deal with the technology originator, with over forty years of field experience? Call us today for an estimate on our standard systems, or customized systems to meet your particular needs!
Liberty’s Retractable systems are innovative time savers once installed; however, your flare needs to be shut down and out of service in order to install a new retractable system for the first time.
What do you do when you lose a pilot, thermocouple or fuel line to your pilot, and you don’t already have a retractable system installed? Liberty Flare has a solution! Our Removable Pilot (Supplemental Pilot) can be installed on a live flare – even under minor flaring conditions! No personnel need to leave the ground to install this system; a Removable Pilot can be installed with a crane within a few hours. Liberty can keep you operational and compliant, even with a critical and unplanned pilot failure!
Liberty’s Removable Pilot systems are independently functioning pilots, containing electronic ignition, manual or automatic lighting controls, fuel lines and required thermocouples; we will even include installation in our proposal to you. We can design and customize the removable pilot system specifically to your individual flare, constructing with high grade stainless steel to ensure durability and heat resistance.
Many customers have purchased Liberty’s Removable Pilot system top function as a secondary or supplemental pilot, providing redundancy and assurance of operation. Your removable pilot can be installed, removed or moved to other flares as needed.
Call Liberty today – prepare for the next unforeseeable flare outage!
