In this paper we consider the elliptic system $\Delta u = u^p -v^q$, $\Delta v= -u^r +v^s$ in $\Omega$, where the exponents verify $p,s>1$, $q,r>0$ and $ps>qr$, and $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain of $R^N$. First, we show existence and uniqueness of boundary blow-up solutions, that is, solutions $(u,v)$ verifying $u=v=+\infty$ on $\partial \Omega$. Then, we use them to analyze the removability of singularities of positive solutions of the system in the particular case $qr\leq 1$, where comparison is available.
