Abstract
A method includes treating a process fluid of a gas processing system to create a treated process fluid and pressurizing the treated process fluid to a predetermined pressure using a pump of the gas processing system. The method also includes routing the treated process fluid at the predetermined pressure to a rotating assembly of the gas processing system and lubricating a bearing of the rotating assembly using the treated process fluid at the predetermined pressure.
