Overview

CRA’s Retrofit service upgrades and reconfigures existing combustion and emissions systems to meet new operational, regulatory, or process requirements. Through targeted engineering modifications, control upgrades, and component replacement, existing assets are adapted to perform reliably under changed conditions without full system replacement.

What Problem It Solves?

Existing systems often fall out of alignment with process demands, regulations, or efficiency targets, creating performance gaps that replacement alone does not always justify.

The CRA Edge

With decades of flare system expertise, CRA goes beyond equipment — we deliver full solutions.

Engineering-First Approach

Every service decision is grounded in engineering fundamentals, process analysis, and real operating data rather than assumptions or templates.

In-House Capability

Design, engineering, fabrication, controls, and service are executed under one roof, ensuring accountability, speed, and technical continuity.

Lifecycle Perspective

Services are planned with full asset lifecycle visibility, balancing performance, reliability, compliance, and long-term operating cost.

System-Level Expertise

CRA evaluates performance at the system level, integrating R&D, controls, materials, and operations to deliver reliable outcomes across varying conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a retrofit preferable to full equipment replacement?

A retrofit is preferable when the core equipment structure remains sound, but performance, compliance, or process requirements have changed. It allows targeted upgrades at lower cost, shorter timelines, and reduced disruption compared to full replacement.

How much downtime is typically required during a retrofit?

Downtime depends on retrofit scope and site constraints. Many retrofits are executed during planned shutdowns, with partial pre-fabrication and off-sitework used to minimize on-site outage duration.

Can retrofit work be performed on non-CRA systems?

Yes. CRA retrofits systems supplied by other OEMs after a detailed technical assessment. Designs are developed based on existing equipment condition, materials, controls, and operating history.
