Degasser's Specifications

Why use a vacuum degasser for drilling mud?
During the drilling process, the gas contained in drilling fluids from wells affects the mud property, brings hidden danger, and shortens the service life of some equipment. So, it is necessary to install a vacuum degasser to eliminate gas from the mud.

Vacuum Degassers are able to serve the needs of any application. It's usually installed after shale shakers. Each degasser can efficiently and effectively remove gases from gas-cut mud, thus ensuring the proper mud weight is pumped down the hole. By doing so, degassers are able to aid in the prevention of potential blowouts. Unlike the traditional vacuum degasser, our degasser is a self-contained unit. It is monitored by the level sensor to protect over suction of the fluids.

The basic principle of drilling mud degasser
The vacuum degasser utilizes negative pressure by the vacuum pump to withdraw entrained gases from the mud. In order for this to work, mud is pumped through a venturi, which develops a negative pressure in the vessel by a vacuum pump, thus sucking mud into the unit. The choice between horizontally- or vertically-mounted units is typically based on the footprint requirements of the specific rig.

The functions of vacuum degasser

Vacuum Degasser is a special-purpose device and a new type for the treatment of gas in drilling fluids. It can get rid of various gas of invasive drilling quickly. A vacuum degasser is very important for returning mud gravity, stabilizing mud viscosity, and reducing drilling costs. Also, at the same time vacuum, degasser can be used as a heavy-power agitator and supported applicable to all types of mud circulation purification systems.

Degasser's Features and Advantages:

• Scientific reasonable design for the structure, it can get effective gas fluids separation, filter out impurities to guarantee vent pipe always clear.
• Adopt belt drive, avoid the complication of reducing gear, and ensure the long working time without trouble.
• The water circle type of vacuum pump is always at a constant temperature, applies to pump the flammable and explosive.
• High degassing efficiency, up to 95%.
• There is a gas-water separator in the vacuum degasser, which can avoid the gas and fluids being all removed together, and also can supply water for the vacuum pump, saving water and environment-friendly.
