Working principle of vacuum degasser for mud solids control

As the purification equipment of oil & gas drilling fluids solids control system, vacuum degasser actually is used to remove little invaded gas in drilling mud. It will be set between shale shaker and mud cleaner/desander. Vacuum degasser separates the gas that migrates into the drilling fluids by the function of vacuum pump and vacuum tubular tank. If the gases does not been separated from the drilling fluids, it may cause well kicked, and increase the total financial cost and timing cost of the drilling project. If there is no gas migrating into the drilling fluids, the vacuum degasser would work as a big mud agitator, to enhance the shearing rate of the drilling mud.

Gases are entrained in drilling fluids from the well bore during normal drilling operation as well as during “kick” or well control situations these gases present safety hazards and create operational problems, in event of hazardous gases being present, it is desirable to localize the point where gas is released from the mud by installing a vacuum degasser.

Working principle of vacuum degasser:

Vacuum degasser ranks as the second stage of solids control equipment. The drilling mud that are separated by the first stage device — shale shaker flows into the setting compartment of the mud tank. The drilled cuttings would settle into the setting pit, and the drilling fluids would flow over and into the second compartment. A sand pump would be used to pump the drilling mud from the second compartment up to the vacuum degasser, The drilling mud enters into the vacuum tank through the feeding pipe, and rotates by the rotor of the degasser, by the effect of centrifugal force, the drilling fluids would be threw to the inner wall of the vacuum tank, and the gases that migrate into the mud would be separated from the mud. Vacuum layer would be generated by the vacuum pump that are mounted on the skid of degasser, so the gases that are separated would be pumped out to the water-gas separator by the vacuum pump and be discharged through the relief linepipe and finally be flared by the electrical ignition device at a place that are 60 to 80 meters away from the drilling rig.
