| Summary: Reciprocating compressor is in processes and production, especially in natural gas refineries plays the most critical and vital roles. If it is not available in the system, for a short time, leads to huge financial losses. Causing failures of compressor and perspicuity of root causes, basic factors and analyzing these failures one by one and using preventive strategies against damage, it leads to good and regular operation of our device and increased reliability and availability factors as well. In this study, investigation of API 618 process gas compressor failures with fault tree analysis include two parts. The first part deals with the five basic factors that be caused failure to the API 618 compressor. Major reason of each basic factors were determined and their probability values were calculated. With the help of the Open FTA program, MCS’s are identified and the importance of the individual basic events is calculated to identifying the damage of the system.
