1. A compression recovery device for use in a pipeline system comprising:
an inlet configured for coupling to a first pipeline of the pipeline system and an outlet configured for coupling to a second pipeline of the pipeline system;
a turbine including turbine blades;
a turbo housing coupled to the inlet and the outlet and comprising a hollow passage configured to route fluid flow to a side of an axis about which the turbine blades of the turbine spin;
the turbine coupled to an alternator through one or more couplings that extend away from the first and second pipeline, the alternator configured to output electricity upon spinning of the turbine blades caused by flow of fluid through the first and second pipeline;
wherein a bypass pipe is coupled at or downstream of the outlet and the bypass pipe is coupled to an upper housing that covers the alternator and an air-tight outer housing covers the upper housing.
