Abstract
A compressor system includes a gas compressor with dry gas seals about a driveshaft. The compressor system also includes a fugitive gas system having a gas conduit in fluid communication with a collection cavity in a collector coupled to the gas compressor to receive fugitive gas leaked through a pressurized gas leakage path. The fugitive gas system may be structured for flaring the gas, and includes a pressure control system with an accumulator tank, and a vent line for venting gas pressure and having a backpressure regulator therein. Fugitive combustible gas is conveyed through a flow restriction orifice downstream of the compressor.
