The function of vacuum degasser in drilling solids control system

To separate the gas effectively in the drilling, so an efficient vacuum degasser is essential to the safe and productive drilling solids control system. Since gas is practically insoluble in water, it is relatively easy to detect and remove. By comparison, gas is easily soluble in oilbase muds – its detection is more difficult as well as its removal. Regardless of the composition of the gas encountered, gas existing in the mud can decrease efficiencies in rig pump, centrifugal pump and associated operational equipment. The goal is to “Keep the pumps Operating”.

As the purification equipment of oil & gas drilling fluids processing system, vacuum degasser actually is used to remove little invaded gas in drilling mud. It will be set between shale shaker and mud cleaner/desander. Vacuum degasser separates the gas that migrates into the drilling fluids by the function of vacuum pump and vacuum tubular tank. If the gases does not been separated from the drilling fluids, it may cause well kicked, and increase the total financial cost and timing cost of the drilling project. If there is no gas migrating into the drilling fluids, the vacuum degasser would work as a big mud agitator, to enhance the shearing rate of the drilling mud.

KOSUN vacuum degasser is a special-purpose device for the treatment of gas-cut drilling fluids.It can be applied to various mud purification systems to recover mud gravity, stabilize mud viscosity and reduce drilling cost. At the same time it can be used as a heavy-power agitator in gas free mud.
