An apparatus and system for gas compression and the method for compression of a gas

A gas compression system comprising:

• a first cylinder;
• a second cylinder connected to the first cylinder by a sealing gasket;
• a piston assembly comprising
• a first piston disposed in the first cylinder defining a first compartment between the first piston and the sealing gasket;
• a second piston disposed in the second cylinder defining a second compartment between the second piston and the sealing gasket;
• and
• a stem connecting the first piston and the second piston;
• a gas storage tank in fluid connection with the first cylinder and first compartment;
• a liquid holding tank in fluid connection with the second compartment and second cylinder, the liquid holding tank containing water;
• a pump in fluid connection with the liquid holding tank;
• a gas collector tank in fluid connection with the second compartment and first cylinder by an outlet line;
• and
• a radiator in fluid connection with the second cylinder, second compartment, and liquid holding tank;
• wherein uncompressed gas enters the first compartment and water enters the second compartment at a higher pressure than the uncompressed gas resulting in lateral movement of the piston assembly thereby compressing the uncompressed gas;
• and
• wherein uncompressed gas enters the first cylinder and water enters the second cylinder at a higher pressure than the uncompressed gas resulting in lateral movement of the piston assembly thereby compressing the uncompressed gas.

A reaction assembly comprising:

• a reactor system that oxidizes a hydrocarbon-containing gas;
• and a gas compression system that includes:
• a gas storage tank containing an uncompressed gas;
• a liquid holding tank containing water;
• a hollow cylinder in fluid connection with the gas storage tank and liquid
• a holding tank;
• a piston disposed within the hollow cylinder dividing the hollow cylinder into a first compartment and a second compartment;
• a radiator in fluid connection with the second compartment of the hollow cylinder and the liquid holding tank, wherein the radiator cools water before it enters the liquid holding tank;
• a gas collector tank in fluid connection with the first compartment of the hollow cylinder by an outlet line;
• and
• a pump in fluid connection with the liquid holding tank and the second compartment of the hollow cylinder, wherein the pump moves water from the liquid holding tank into the second compartment;
• and
• wherein uncompressed gas enters the first compartment, and the pump moves water into the second compartment at a higher pressure than the uncompressed gas causing the piston to move in a lateral direction resulting in a decrease in volume of the first compartment thereby compressing the uncompressed gas.
