1. A method of operating a compressor system having multiple stages of compression, the method comprising:
a. receiving condensate collected from a first area in the compressor system that is at a first pressure;
b. directing the condensate to a blowdown system;
c. obtaining gas from a vessel in the second area in the compressor system that is downstream of the first area and at a second pressure, which is greater than the first pressure;
d. forming pressurized condensate in the blowdown system that is at a designated pressure by combining the gas from the second area at the second pressure with the condensate in the blowdown system that is at the first pressure; and
e. flowing the pressurized condensate from the blowdown system to a condensate destination.
