For small amount of entrained gas in a drilling fluids, the degasser can play a major role in 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 fluids must go through degassing machine and it can be accomplished by the equipment called degasser which is also a major part of a solids control system.
The vacuum degasser is the equipment used in solids control system to get rid of poisonous gas. This will help avoid blowout among whole well drilling job site. The vacuum degasser can also be used as a powerful mud agitator.
It is usually used after shale shaker before the desander or mud conditioner. It can help much on keeping drilling mud performance, such as the density, the weight, etc. It plays an important role in recalling the drilling fluids proportion and remaining mud performance.
KOSUN Vacuum Degasser is able to fulfill the needs of any application. It is usually fixed after the shakers. Each degasser effectively and efficiently removes gases from gas-entrained mud, thus ensuring that the proper mud weight is pumped down hole. In doing so, the degassers are able to aid the prevention of potential blowouts. Unlike the traditional vacuum degasser, KOSUN 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 the centrifugal pump. Moreover, KOSUN Degasser can act as a big agitator for the drilling mud, which helps the treatment from desander and desilter. KOSUN also has atmospheric/centrifugal degasser available as an alternative to the standard vacuum type degasser.
KOSUN Vacuum Degasser is made of explosion-proof motor, vacuum pump, coaxial shunting gear reducer. When it works, press the start key. The motor drives vacuum pump and mud liquid/gas separator degassing impeller rotates, gas-invaded drilling fluids is absorbed to mud liquid/gas separator and thrown to mud gas separator by degassing impeller. Then, it produces a fluid lamina which is eddy spiral movement and forms the centrifugal force field. Because the centrifugal force is 32 times more than its gravity, the small bubbles in fluid lamina are rapidly lifted to surface. In the function of negative pressure, the small bubbles are rapidly broken. The broken gas bubbles enter the vacuum pump and is discharged through the two air holes in reducer.
