Abstract
An air compressor system is provided for generating compressed air for one or more pneumatic instruments on a pipeline section. The pipeline section may include a valve defining an upstream portion and a downstream portion. In one example, an expander is configured to selectively receive process fluid from the upstream portion of the pipeline via an input line. In another example, a compressor is configured to receive air via an air input line and to output compressed air to an air tank via an air output line. The expander may power the compressor via the expansion of process fluid through the expander. In one example, the expander outputs the process fluid into the downstream portion of the pipeline via an output line.
