Abstract: A method for conditioning natural gas for downlink applications comprising pulling raw gas; cooling the gas to a temperature within a preset temperature range; removing solid contaminants and condensed liquids from the gas; reducing gas pressure to meet the requirements of the inlet side of a compressor; controlling the rotational speed of the compressor based on data input from various flow meters; delivering the preconditioned gas to the suction side of the compressor; elevating gas pressure to achieve a desired discharge pressure; using an aerial cooler to cool the pressurized gas; delivering the pressurized gas to a separator to separate the liquids from the gas; repeating the compression, cooling and separating steps until desired temperature and pressure are achieved; cooling the gas through the use of a heat sink; removing liquids from the gas through the use of a separator; and adjusting the final gas pressure and temperature.
