The problem with trying to scale down these processes that are outlined in the diagram a few posts up is that those processes require significant power to produce the compression of the gas prior to those illustrated processes. There is really no way to scale down the large engines that have the torque to drive the compressors thru multiple stages that produce the required pressures and temperatures. The size of the plants mean there are certain economies that have to be achieved in volume, capacity, and time.
