Motor compressors increase gas pressure after a drop in pressure and temperature generated during conditioning. Unscheduled shutdowns raise costs, as service is halted and revenue is lost. For this study, 11 units installed in 3 pumping stations were analyzed, using two criteria: frequent failures and critical failures, to determine which type of failures have the greatest impact on motor compressor operation. Based on the criterion of failures that generate the most downtime, critical failures proved more relevant to improving process quality. Three critical failures accounted for 51.3% of corrective maintenance time; by preventing them through a reliability-based maintenance plan, the mean time between failures (MTBF) was increased, and pumping service was interrupted for a shorter time.
