Vacuum degasser information

The function of a vacuum degassers are to remove air and gases, such as methane, H2S and CO, from the mud used in drilling operations. This is critical to maintaining the integrity of the drilling fluid and ensuring optimal drilling performance. A degasser does this by creating a vacuum force that draws the liquid from the tank, allowing air and gases to escape to the surface.

In addition to degassing the mud, a degasser also agitates the drilling fluid, preventing any solid particles from settling and ensuring that the drilling fluid remains even and well mixed. At AIPU, we offer universal designs for vacuum degasser that can be further customized to meet your specific operating requirements.

Now that you understand how it works, you may be wondering how to purchase it. With this query in mind, let's take a look!

Buying guide

When purchasing a vacuum degasser, there are several key factors to consider. Firstly, you need to assess the degassing capacity of the equipment. This will ensure that it can effectively handle the amount of mud used in drilling operations. Next, you need to consider the power and efficiency of the degasser, as well as the ease of maintenance. Finally, don't forget to consider any other features that may be beneficial to your specific needs!

In conclusion, understanding how a vacuum degasser works is crucial to making an informed purchasing decision. By considering the factors mentioned in our buying guide, you can confidently choose a vacuum degasser that meets your operational requirements and ensures efficient, effective degassing of drilling mud.

Vacuum degasser design and operation in fluids solids control

Vacuum degasser is set behind shale shaker but ahead of all other equipment.

Design of vacuum degasser

The vacuum degasser shall draw suction from the compartment immediately downstream from the sand trap. When the sand trap is in use, flow to the degasser compartment shall be over a long, high weir.

While the degasser is in use, there shall be no tank bottom equalization between the degasser compartment and those adjacent to it. The degasser capacity shall be at least equal to the planned circulation rate in all of the hole intervals in which gas intrusion is considered to be a hazard

Vacuum degasser operation

Operate degassers to receive all drilling fluid from the lowest portion of the borehole (“bottoms”) after trips. Crews should be familiar with start-up procedures and provide regular checks to confirm that the equipment is working properly

Calculate the volume fraction (percent) gas or air in a drilling fluid by dividing the difference between pressurized drilling fluid density and unpressurized drilling fluid density by the pressurized drilling fluid density, and multiplying this fraction by 100. The calculation can be expanded to include the possibility of dissolved gas by subtracting from 100 % the mass of unpressurized drilling fluid divided by the mass of the same volume of degassed drilling fluid, expressed as a percentage

Aipu degasser information

Aipu degasser including ZCQ240, 270, 300, and 360. Popular model is ZCQ300 capacity is up to 300m³/h. Our vacuum degassers don't request feed pump. It is self-suction pattern under the minus pressure

Furthermore, it can be used as big mud agitator during fluids drawing. For oil drilling mud system, if well deeps 3000m or more we'll operate vacuum degasser as safety insurance

Aipu vacuum degasser is rather popular with clients. Repeat orders tell the truth and reflect product quality.
