APZCQ240 COMPACT Mud Vacuum D-GASSER Unit Removes Entrained Gases

APZCQ240 COMPACT D-GASSER unit removes entrained gases from drilling fluid by exposing the fluid to pressures far below ambient atmospheric pressure. The vacuum-style degasser is mounted in the first compartment downstream of the sand trap and upstream of any centrifugal pumps. The piston-style vacuum pump on the COMPACT D-GASSER unit continuously removes free gas, which can be directed to the flare stack.

How it Works

The unit directs the incoming fluid flow over internal conical disks that create large surface areas over which thin layers of the fluid continuously flow. The transit time required for the gas to travel up, through the fluid and “break out” of the mud is minimized by spreading the fluid into thin layers.
At pressures below atmospheric pressure, the rate at which gas separates from a fluid is accelerated. The low pressure promotes the growth
of large gas bubbles that rise rapidly to the nearest surface.
The free gas that breaks out of the drilling fluid is continuously removed from the vessel by the action of the piston-style vacuum pump on the
unit. The removed gas is typically directed to the flare stack.
The level of mud within the vessel is controlled by a float valve to ensure that the disk stack is never submerged. As fluid level rises and lifts
the float, air enters the vessel through the three-way valve to decrease the vacuum inside the vessel. With less vacuum inside the vessel, the
rate at which fluid is drawn into the tank slows and the rate at which fluid exits the vessel increases. The fluid level inside the vessel drops
rapidly until the float lowers and full vacuum is restored.
A liquid-trap tank in the gas-removal piping collects any fluid or condensate that may have entered the gas-removal piping. A float ball in the
liquid-trap tank prevents the liquids from entering the vacuum pump.

APZCQ240 Degasser accelerating free gas “break out”

The greater internal surface area allows gas-entrained mud to be released more efficiently. The unit directs incoming fluid over internal conical disks that create large surface areas. Because of the thinness of fluid layers continuously flowing over the surface, gases require less time to separate or “break out,” enhancing processing efficiency.

Drilling fluid in the shaker tank is drawn by degasser via the suction line. The negative pressure produced by the vacuum pump. When we operate the degasser turn on the vacuum pump motor firstly to let the vessel be empty. Then the mud introduced into a degasser tank under the negative pressure.

APZCQ240 vacuum degasser suits well-drilling deeps around 10000ft. The degassing efficiency is up to 95%, the total power request is only 17.2kw. The dimension is about 70''x36''x60'', weight is about 1200kg/2640lbs. It's a rather compact and small footprint. Considering the power of degasser and the working principle, the degasser is also a powerful agitator. During the agitation inside, the gas or air bubbles will break and let the gas flow away

AIPU APZCQ240 degasser advantage is no need for the feeding pump. So more economical and costs less energy occupies less space. Isn't it an ideal choice for degassing for little gas removal?

Other option on of APZCQ240 Degasser

Vacuum degasser can be designed and supplied according to users' demand. Including the motor system, the certification, the brand, the color, and so on. For some clients, they request a specific vent line for the discharged gas. This line is an extended pipe connected with a ignition device. This is specially used in the shale gas field exploration.

If you have further requirements for the vacuum degasser? Standard equipment is the ideal one, however, if you have demand we'll do the related efforts to cater to your demand.
