Abstract:
1. A compressor system comprising (a) a first compressor having a first stage and a second stage wherein the first stage of the first compressor is adapted to compress a first gas stream and the second stage of the first compressor is adapted to compress a combination of a fourth gas stream and an intermediate compressed gas from the first stage of the first compressor; and (b) a second compressor having a first stage and a second stage wherein the first stage of the second compressor is adapted to compress a second gas stream and the second stage of the second compressor is adapted to compress a combination of a third gas and stream an intermediate compressed gas from the first stage of the second compressor; wherein the first gas stream is received by the first compressor at a first pressure, the second gas is received by the second compressor at a second pressure higher than the first pressure, the third gas is received by the second compressor at a third pressure higher than the second pressure, and the fourth gas is received by the first compressor at a fourth pressure higher than the third pressure.
