A drilling mud degassing is a secondary purification device in drilling fluid systems, removing intrusive gases, primarily small bubbles encapsulated by a liquid film.
A drilling mud degassing primarily consists of a suction pipe, vacuum tank, main motor, separation rotor assembly, vacuum pump, and gas-water separator.
Advantages of this vacuum degasser:
1. No slurry pump required.
2. High degassing efficiency.
3. Compact and portable design.
4. Stringent sandblasting and spraying procedures.
5. Wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating.
A drilling mud degassing can quickly remove various gases that have intruded into the drilling fluid. It is an indispensable piece of equipment for gas wells, exploratory wells, deep wells, and underbalanced drilling projects. It is suitable for use in various drilling fluid circulation purification systems.
The degasser uses a vacuum pump’s suction to create negative pressure in the vacuum tank. Under atmospheric pressure, mud enters the hollow rotor shaft via a suction pipe. The main motor spins the rotor at high speed. It flings the gas-soaked mud toward the tank wall. Collisions and the separator’s action thin the drilling fluid into layers. This shatters trapped bubbles, letting gas escape. The vacuum pump pulls the gas through a gas-water separator. The gas then discharges to a safe area. Meanwhile, the impeller discharges the mud from the tank.
As a manufacturer of vacuum degassers, HL Petroleum offers four models: HCQ240, HCQ270, HCQ300, and HCQ360, to meet the mud treatment needs of various drilling depths.
