Vacuum degasser is the most common form of drilling mud degasser. For small amount of entrained gas in a drilling fluid, the vacuum degasser can play a major role of removing small bubbles that a liquid film has enveloped and entrapped. In order for it to be released and break out the air and gas such as methane, H2S and CO2 from the mud to the surface, the drilling fluid must pass degassing machine and it can be accomplished by the solid control equipment called drilling mud degasser which is also a major part of a mud solids control system. KOSUN Vacuum degasser can be horizontal, vertical or round vessel. A vacuum action is created to pull in the gas cut mud. When the liquid enters the tank it will flow and be distributed to a layer of internal baffle plates designed for the mud to flow in thin laminar film and is exposed to a vacuum that forces the gas to escape and break out of the mud.The vacuum pump moves the escaping gas from the vessel discharging it to the rig's flare or environmental solids control system.
Gases are entrained in drilling fluids from the wellbore during normal drilling operation as well as during "kick" or well control situations, these gases may bring safety hazards and create operational problems, in case of the presence of hazardous gases, it is desirable to localize the point where gas is released from the mud by installing a vacuum degasser.
1. Self-contained unit without need for centrifugal pump to feed drilling mud.
2. Eliminate corrosion and reduce reparation and maintenance costs.
3. Short footprint make it possible to be installed in smaller space.
4. Degasser can act as a big agitator for the drilling mud, which helps the treatment of desander and desilter.
