1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first valve (v1), wherein the apparatus is configured to receive a first amount of natural gas through the first valve (v1);
a first piping section;
a high-pressure accumulator (A1), wherein the first piping section is between the first valve (v1) and the high-pressure accumulator (A1);
a second valve (225);
a catalytic heater (H1);
a medium-pressure accumulator (A2), wherein the catalytic heater (H1) is located between the high-pressure accumulator (A1) and the mid-pressure accumulator (A2);
a first controller (A), wherein the first controller (A) is configured to be connected to the mid-pressure accumulator (A2) via a second piping section;
a control valve (v7), wherein the first controller (A) is configured use the first amount of natural gas to control the control valve (v7);
a third piping section;
a fail-close valve (v5), wherein the third piping section is between the first controller (A) and the fail-close valve (v5);
a fourth piping section, wherein the fail-close valve (v5) and the control valve (v7) are located on the fourth piping section;
a fifth piping section (202);
an indirect heater (230), wherein the fifth piping section (202) is located between the control valve (v7) and the indirect heater (230);
a sixth piping section (204);
a seventh piping section (207), wherein the sixth piping section (204) is configured to be connected to the seventh piping section (207);
an eighth piping section (209), wherein the eighth piping section (209) is configured to be connected to the seventh piping section (207);
a third valve (v23), wherein the eighth piping section (209) is configured to be connected to the third valve (v23), wherein the mid-pressure accumulator (A2) is configured to send a second amount of natural gas, from the mid-pressure accumulator (A2), through a ninth piping section, to the first controller (A).
