Patent ID: 8186968

Claim:
A compressor unit including a compressor, comprising: a suction line; a discharge line; a dissolving unit connected upstream from the compressor; and a control unit controlling the compressor, wherein a first detection device is disposed in the suction line to identify non-gaseous fluid amounts in a fluid to be compressed before entering the compressor, wherein the first detection device is connected to the control unit in a signal transmitting manner, wherein the dissolving unit dissolves non-gas amounts before entering the compressor using a jet stream of natural gas from a higher pressure tapped from the discharge line, wherein the dissolving is initiated when an amount of non-gaseous fluid detected exceeds a certain limit, wherein the compressor unit further comprises a separator disposed in the suction line which is separating non-gaseous fluid amounts from the fluid before the fluid enters the compressor, wherein the first detection device is provided upstream the separator, and wherein the compressor unit is disposed below sea-level on the ground near a well head of a natural as well.
