Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for controlling the gas temperature of gas flowing between compression stages so that the temperature of the gas always remains above the dew-point and hydrate temperature of the gas. The invention also allows for controlling inner stage compression temperatures that can be part of a new compressor assembly or retrofitted to compressors already installed and operating.
