Abstract: A system for compressing gas, including fugitive natural gas emissions from natural gas compression equipment, such that the gas can be reintroduced in an unchanged, undiluted state into a pressurized gas pipeline system such as that used for natural gas. The source of gas can include leakage from natural gas compressor piston rod packing seals, or blowdowns of certain sections of a natural gas pipeline system for purposes of maintenance or emergency operations, or any other leakage source. The current practice within the natural gas pipeline industry is to vent or flare fugitive emissions and blowdown gas to atmosphere.

Abstract: A system and method for recovering fugitive natural gas emissions from compressors. Leak capture devices can be connected to piston rods of the compressor for collecting emissions both during operation and periods where the compressor is shutdown. Captured natural gas is repressurized with cylindrical pumps based on the flow rate of the captured emissions. The equipment can also be configured for capturing blow down events of the equipment.

Abstract: The first embodiment of a handheld personal muscle massage device has an arm rest that reacts the compressive massage force against the forearm to allow higher massage forces than would otherwise be possible. Additionally, the roller is extended from the location of the hand to facilitate massage of areas of the lower leg without the person having to bend over to administer massage effort. The second embodiment has the same attributes as the first embodiment, with the added attribute of an adjustable angle between the two structural frameworks to allow massage access to body areas that are not accessible by the device of the first embodiment. Additionally, the device of the second embodiment folds into itself for compact storage.
