Black powder contamination in compressors caused costly downtime and frequent maintenance at Targa Resources. This contamination—containing iron sulfide, iron oxide, and debris—wore down critical compressor components and clogged filters, leading to repeated interruptions.
Black Powder Solutions Magnetic Separators were installed to capture contaminants before
they could reach and damage the compressors.
These high-strength magnetic separators intercepted black powder, reducing wear and ensuring smooth operations.
Results?
● 30% Reduction in Downtime: Targa’s compressors now run with fewer interruptions.
● Significant Cost Savings: Lower repair costs, extended equipment life, and optimized maintenance.
● Enhanced Efficiency: Fewer breakdowns mean increased output and a more reliable workflow.
With Black Powder Solutions Magnetic Filtration, Targa Resources achieved sustainable improvements in compressor reliability and performance, transforming their operational
efficiency.
