- Recycling the used lubricant may further include reintroduction of the used lubricant into the compressor. This may be accomplished by mixing the used lubricant with the lubricant from the remote source to form a mixed lubricant, as shown at 108.
- the used lubricant may remain separate from the lubricant from the remote source, and may be injected directly into the compressor, and/or into a separation device for mixing with the process fluid, as described above with reference to Figure 1. Once mixed, the mixed lubricant may be transported back to the compressor, as shown at 109.
- the method includes positioning the remote lubricant source on an oil platform over a body of water, such as the ocean.
- the method may also include positioning the compressor under a surface of the body of water, such as on the bottom of the ocean proximate to an undersea source of oil, natural gas, or other fluid.
- the method may further include transporting the lubricant from the remote source through an umbilical to the compressor.
- the umbilical may be a long line or tube from the oil platform to the compressor. Further, the umbilical may require a pump to move the lubricant down to the compressor.
- the pump may be any pump suitable for pumping the necessary quantities of lubricant over the incident pressure differential.
