Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2746641A1] A method of treating a gas. The method comprises one or more compression step(s) in which a pressurised drive gas actuates a piston which compresses the gas, a cooling step in which expanded drive gas cools the compressed gas, and a filling step in which the cooled compressed gas, or a condensate thereof, is filled on a receiving gas cylinder. A method of recovering a gas, in which the gas is treated with the aforementioned method. A gas compression system (1). Use of an expanded drive gas from a gas compression device. A hitherto unidentified cooling capacity of expanded drive gas from a gas booster is utilized to match downstream cooling requirements of the gas compressed by the gas booster.
