A system for processing a product the product being in a gaseous state when at a pressure of 1 bar and a temperature of 283K, said system comprising:
at least one liquid product reservoir,
a main circuit for extracting a main product in the liquid state from the liquid product reservoir, and
a recovery circuit comprising at least one thermal compressor configured to compress a gas at least in part by raising the temperature of said gas or of an intermediate agent such as a metal hydride, by means of a cold source and a hot source, and transfer means for transferring a recovery product resulting from evaporation within the liquid product reservoir to one of said at least one thermal compressor, the cold source of at least one of said thermal compressors being configured to receive cold energy from said main circuit.
b) allowing gas to be transferred directly from the source to each reservoir and directly from each reservoir to the target, and—for each reservoir (3) of the group, two-way transfer means (7) allowing gas to be transferred directly between this reservoir (3) and at least one other reservoir (3) of the group. The present invention also relates to a cyclic method for the thermal compression of a gas in a plurality of reservoirs (3) of at least one group of a system according to the invention.
