Abstract

Method of compressing combustible gas flowing through a conduit (3) provided with a non-return inlet valve (10) arranged at its inlet end (5) and with an open-ended tubular (13) arranged in the conduit (3) comprising (a) allowing combustible gas to enter into the conduit (3); (b) supplying oxidant to the combustible gas in the tubular (13), the amount of oxidant being equal to the amount of oxidant required to combust at least part of the combustible gas in the tubular (13); (c) allowing the mixture of combustible gas and oxidant to ignite in the tubular (13), which ignition yields a high pressure wave front closing the non-return inlet valve (10) and pushing gas out of the tubular (13) and entraining gas flowing through the annular space (17) and a low pressure wave front; and (d) allowing the non-return inlet valve (10) to open on arrival of the low pressure wave front, followed by steps (a) through (d).
