Abstract:
1. A system for collecting seal leak gas and increasing the pressure of the seal leak gas, the system comprising: a) at least one source of seal leak gas having a gas inlet ( b) a cover positioned to collect seal leak gas from at least one seal gas leak from the source and having a seal leak gas outlet; c) a venturi having a pressurized gas inlet at a third pressure, a mixed gas outlet at a fourth pressure and a seal leak gas inlet; d) the source being in fluid communication with the pressurized gas inlet and the mixed gas outlet and a third line in fluid communication with the venturi mixed gas outlet and the gas inlet; and, e) a second line in fluid communication with the at least one gas leak and the seal leak gas inlet to the venturi produce a mixed gas through the mixed gas outlet at the fourth pressure, the fourth pressure being greater than the first pressure.
