The risk of backflow through the recycle from the discharge system into the suction system should be considered during the design and suitable precautions taken to prevent problems in the lower pressure system - installation of NRV, slam-shut valve etc.
Suction drums should be rated for settle-out pressure when the compressor is stopped.
