How to separate the gas effectively in mud system?

In order to separate the gas effectively in the drilling, so an efficient degasser is

essential to the safe and productive drilling operations. Since gas is practically insoluble
in water, it is relatively easy to detect and remove. By comparison, gas is easily soluble
in oilbase muds its detection is more difficult as well as its removal. Regardless of the
composition of the gas encountered, gas existing in the mud can decrease efficiencies
in rig pumps, centrifugal pumps and associated operational equipment. The goal is to
Keep the pumps Operating.
Atmospheric separation relies on impact, turbulence, agitation or a combination of
these techniques to separate gas from the fluid. It possesses few moving parts and
have low initial cost. But their efficiency is limited and they may not be suitable for all
conditions
Differently, Vacuum degasser has more moving parts and higher initial cost. This is due
to the vacuum pump and attendant components primarily. They are, however, much
more efficient. Because gas volume is inversely proportional to pressure, gas bubbles in
the fluid is more rapid under pressure. By combining impact and turbulence these
features with low pressure, modern vacuum degassers proves fast and highly effective
in the aspect of separating dissolved gas.
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.
KOSUN ZCQ vacuum degasser is a special-purpose device for the treatment of gas-cut
drilling fluids.It can be applied to various mud purification systems to recover mud
gravity, stabilize mud viscosity and reduce drilling cost. At the same time it can be used
as a heavy-power agitator in gas free mud.
