[0026] In other embodiments, the compressor body can also include two-stage or four-stage gas compression mechanism to effectively compress and transport wellhead natural gas.
[0027] Specifically, compressor body and first intake scrubber are placed on skid, and blowdown tank is placed inside skid, during the compression and transmission of wellhead natural gas, most of liquid mixture is separated when passing through first intake scrubber, due to the separation of a large amount of liquid, the pressure in first intake scrubber is the lowest value of the pressure of the whole skid, lacking the pressure energy to make liquid flow, blowdown tank is located below first intake scrubber, so that the liquid phase outlet of first intake scrubber is located above liquid inlet, to ensure that liquid in first intake scrubber can automatically flow into blowdown tank under the action of gravity.
[0028] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The arrow direction in the figure is the flow direction of gaseous medium.
[0029] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 1, the second gas compression mechanism and the third gas compression mechanism are provided with a third gas inlet scrubber, the gas inlet of the third gas inlet scrubber is communicated with the outlet of the second gas compression mechanism, the gas phase outlet of the third gas inlet scrubber is communicated with the inlet of the third gas compression mechanism, the liquid phase outlet of the third gas inlet scrubber is communicated with the liquid inlet through a pipeline, the third gas inlet scrubber can separate and analyze the liquid in the gas medium entering the third gas compression mechanism, and the liquid flows into the blowdown tank under the action of the gas pressure difference.

[0031] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , since the liquid generated by the second gas inlet scrubber and the third gas inlet scrubber is relatively small, the pipeline between the liquid phase outlet of the second gas inlet scrubber and the liquid inlet and the pipeline between the liquid phase outlet of the third gas inlet scrubber and the liquid inlet should be provided with a pneumatic on-off valve, which is opened and closed regularly, when the pneumatic on-off valve is opened, the liquid in the second gas inlet scrubber and the third gas inlet scrubber can automatically flow into the blowdown tank under the action of the gas pressure difference; when the pneumatic on-off valve is closed, the high-pressure gas in the second gas inlet scrubber and the third gas inlet scrubber can be prevented from entering the blowdown tank.
