The Advantages of KOSUN Vacuum Degasser Compared with Derrick

Sep 26, 2013

The vacuum degasser is highly efficient in solids control system. Its unique design assures reliable continuous operation and the highest level of continuous performance available without the need for helium degassing. Up to five solvent lines may be degassed simultaneously by one unit. The extremely low internal volume of each teflon AF channel offers very quick equilibration and very short start-up times compared with PTFE degassing channels which have the same degassing efficiency.

Derrick Vacu-Flo Degassers has a more efficient vertical tank design than traditional horizontal degassers, offering over 217% more surface area than alternative designs. This additional capacity results in no increase in vessel size, tank space requirements, unit weight, or reconfiguration of pit arrangements. A 5 HP vacuum pump, capable of pulling 29” Hg, draws mud into the degassing chamber where decreased pressure causes gas bubbles to surface from the fluids more rapidly. A stacked, corrugated fiberglass leaf arrangement and multiple feed ports provide higher fluid impact, thinner layers of mud dispersion, and greater turbulence for more efficient gas removal. Derrick’s Vacu-Flo Degassers offer convenient access to the leaf assembly and float mechanisms ( without having to remove the vessel lid ) through an over-sized access door. This feature significantly reduces downtime and maintenance costs compared to other units. The Vacu-Flo Degasser has a leaf capacity of 14,528 square inches.

KOSUN Vacuum Degasser is able to service the needs of any application. Unlike the traditional vacuum degasser, KOSUN VD Vacuum Degasser is a self-contained unit. The gas-cut mud is drawn into the degasser by a vacuum created by a regenerative vacuum without needing centrifugal pump. Moreover, KOSUN Degasser can act as a big agitator for the drilling mud, which facilitates the treatment for desander and desilter. KOSUN also have Atmospheric/Centrifugal Degasser available as an alternative to the standard vacuum type degasser.
