APMGS1200 mud gas separator or Mud Gas Separator, located
downstream of the choke manifold, is a vertical vessel used to
separate any gas from drilling fluid during a good control
situation. Once the gas has been separated, it can pass through the
vent line. Alternatively, as long as it’s a safe distance from the
rig, it could even be vented.
Mud gas separators a special oil drilling equipment to handle the
invaded gas, it is also effective equipment to handle the tail gas
and invaded natural gas in oil fields, refineries, and natural gas
collecting and distributing stations. It can ignite the harmful
invaded gas to eliminate the hazards to the environment, also it is
a security environmental protection equipment. This equipment can
match with flare ignition device and is usually used in oil &
gas drilling and CBM drilling project.
Drilling fluid with gas goes into the separator and drops along the
inner wall. With collision to increase the contact area, it flows
downward and becomes a turbulent state which makes gas separate
from mud. The free gas goes through the top of the vessel and is
discharged from the gas outlet. The length of the gas output pipe
can be determined at the spot. The drilling fluid without gas flows
into the following solids control equipment.

Model | Vessel Diameter | Flow rate | Inlet | Discharge | Vent line | Weight |
APMGS1200 | 1200mm | 280~360m³/h | 5'' | 10'' | 8'' | About 2800kg |
With mud separators, there are two main types. Also known as a
‘poor-boy’ and a ‘gas buster’, the more common of the two is called
an atmospheric mud/gas separator. However, some mud/gas separators
are designed to operate at moderate backpressure. Although these
will mostly operate under 100 psig, it’s possible to come across
those that work at the atmospheric gas vent line pressure plus the
vent line friction drop.
APMGS1200 means the poor boy degasser is holding a vessel diameter
of 1200mm. It is a popular model than other degassers. The treating
capacity is up to 360m³/h. The degassing efficiency is up to 95%.
For oil and gas well drilling, we usually set mud gas separators
ahead of shale shakers. The drilling mud out of the well-bore will
flow into the degasser via the chock manifold. After degassed,
fluid will flow out of the degasser into a shaker by pass or possum
belly. Degasser will help get rid of large quantity invading gas.
These are harmful and toxic gas may lead blow out
Especially when we drill the gas well at the gas field. The
degassing is very important to safety working. We use the poor boy
degasser and vacuum degasser together to control the gas volume
entrained in drilling fluids and remove them efficiently.
The vessel diameter of the mud gas separator is 1200mm, the inlet
and discharge line is 5'', 10''. While the gas vent line is 8''.
The overall dimension of the whole degasser is about
2200x2200x6634mm. The vessel material is made of high-quality
carbon steel, or the special carbon steel Q345R to resist the H2S.
Another specification is the vent line length.
Some clients request we deliver the vent line together with the
degasser. Some request 60m, while some request 100m. The vent line
is the connection between the degasser and the flare ignition
device.
The mud gas separator is made of a steel sheet that thicks 10mm for
normal pressure working conditions. Some of the degassers are made
of steel sheets thick 14-20mm per different working pressure
requirements. The pipelines and the valves will be different from
normal pressure degasser, too.
Yes. There are APMGS1000, APMGS800. The difference is the diameter
of the line's diameter and the vessel thickness. Based on
working conditions, there are normal pressure degasser and middle
pressure, high-pressure degasser. And the working pressure can
be 0.1Mpa to 6.4Mpa, or even higher according to practical
conditions.
Besides the normal standard poor boy degasser, there are some
degassers that can be customized. For example, we have made the
APMGS500, APMGS600 degassers for clients request smaller degasser
and smaller flow rate. Please feel free to let us know the
requirement of your degasser.
There is a customizable configuration of the mud leg. That means
the U tuber or mud seal length for a degasser. The mud seal will
help to prevent gas from flowing out of the degasser during
operation. For the degasser leg and base, we can configure it as
the adjustable one. That means the laydown leg and the supporting
base can be configured flexibly.
