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.

-13. (canceled)
A method of recovering natural gas from a natural gas system comprising:
- connecting at least one gas capture device to a natural gas compressor;
- collecting the recovered natural gas from the at least one gas capture device in at least one collection tank;
- pressurizing the recovered natural gas in the at least one collection tank with a recovered gas compression system;
- and
- returning the recovered natural gas pressurized by the gas compression system to the natural gas system.
