Mud Gas Separator and Vacuum Degasser for Drilling
- 1. Mud Gas Separatorand Vacuum Degasser in Drilling Fluid Mud Gas Separator Application The field-proven KOSUN mud gas separator is an extremely reliable and vital piece of safety equipment for today drilling operations. It is ideal for use where drilling is likely to encounter large volumes of gas, sour gas or when an operator is drilling with an under balanced mud column. The KOSUN mud gas separator is primarily used to separate and safety vent large pockets of free gas, which may include toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, from the drilling fluid system. Working Principle Gas cut drilling fluid flows into mud gas separator through inlet mouth, hitting the impact panel and dispersing on a series of inner baffles, so the exposed surface is increased, then it flows downward to form turbulent flow, and gas will be separated from drilling fluid. Free gas can be discharged from the vent at tank top. The length of gas extraction pipe should be measured and connected on site, and leads to safety area. The degasificate drilling fluid will flow into cycling tank through shale shaker.
- 2. Vacuum Degasser Application Gases areentrained in drilling fluid from the wellbore during normal drilling operation as well as during "kick" or well control situations, these gases present 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. Features & Advantages 1. Absorbing the waste gas with its own power unit independently, without the extra centrifugal pump 2. Can be worked as high power drilling mud agitator 3. Eliminating the corrosion for the solid control equipment, reducing the cost for the maintenance 4. Compact design, saving space
