Methods for managing natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery systems may comprise receiving a dryout gas by at least one first exchanger, the at least one first exchanger being part of a first NGL recovery train; receiving the dryout gas from the at least one first exchanger by a first dehydrator; receiving the dryout gas from the first dehydrator by at least one second exchanger, the second exchanger being part of a second NGL recovery train; receiving the dryout gas from the at least one first exchanger and the at least one second exchanger by a third exchanger; and bypassing a flare burner by directing the dryout gas from the third exchanger to a gas sales compressor through a first bypass fluid conduit.
