D-GASSERs
Introduced in 1951, the M-I SWACO D-GASSER* has performed reliably on over 200,000 wells and earned its reputation as the standard of the industry. All M-I SWACO D-GASSER units are designed to remove virtually all entrained gases, including H2S and corrosive oxygen, from drilling mud. This reduces the threat of dangerous and costly blowouts caused by recirculating gas-cut mud. With its smaller footprint, 42 x 60.7 in. (1,066.8 x 1,541.8 mm), the vertical model is ideal for confined-space applications.

Features and Benefits

Skid-mounted. Simplifies spotting and installation. Self-contained. The unit consists of a cylindrical vacuum tank with internal baffle system, vacuum pump, jet nozzle and three-way float valve. Three-way float valve. Unique design allows venting to the flare line during H2S service. Simple operation. The returnflow, gas-cut mud is drawn into the tank through a vacuum created by the discharge jet and pump. The mud is then dispersed in a thin layer over a two-tier, baffle-plate system where the entrained gas, including H2S and corrosive oxygen, is recovered by the vacuum pump. The freed gas is then discharged at a safe distance from the drilling operation while the restored mud is returned to the active mud system. Few moving parts. The D-GASSER unit features only three moving parts: the float inside the vacuum vessel, the vacuum breaker valve, and the vacuum pump. The float ensures that the system maintains the desired mud-fill level within the vessel during operation. High performance. An M-I SWACO D-GASSER can handle up to 1,000 GPM (3,785.4 L/min) while restoring mud to its original density. Built rugged. The unit is ruggedly built and coated inside and out with corrosion-resistant epoxy to ensure long life and minimum maintenance.
