Can a compressor with flammable gases in its exhaust gas be driven by a belt?

According to clause 5.7.7 of the petrochemical standards, belt drives shall not be used for pumps used to compress combustible gases, liquefied hydrocarbons, or combustible liquids. My question is: in the case where distillation process emissions contain 15% combustible gas, and this gas is compressed and sent to another system, can a belt drive be used for such a compressor?

It shouldn’t be possible. If exhaust gases mix with flammable gases, then the compressor medium becomes a flammable gas.
