API Vertical Drilling Mud Centrifugal Degasser Keep Pumps Operating

API Standard Vertical Centrifugal Degasser For Well Drilling By Electricity

Vertical centrifugal degasser information

Our efficient degasser is ideal equipment for safe and productive drilling operations to detect and remove gas from drilling mud. Compared to water gas mud, it is more difficult for gas detection and removal while gas is readily soluble in oil base mud. The gas present mud can decrease efficiencies in rig pumps, centrifugal pumps, and associated operational equipment, so the goal of degasser is to “Keep the pumps Operating”.

Aipu solids control produces both vacuum degasser and centrifugal type degasser for oil & gas drilling solids control system. The centrifugal degasser at AIPU is the high-quality API standard degasser. The model is APLCQ300. We know the centrifugal degasser in mud cleaning is also referred to as a normal pressure degasser. It's high-efficiency equipment to remove gas or air bubbles in drilling mud. It's a special equipment to process the drilling mud mixed with gas. APLCQ300 degasser is designed and produced according to the API Q1 standard. It meets the requirements of HSE in the oilfield.

Such degasser is equipment holding high treating capacity, high efficiency, compact, and easy to operate. The filtration screen and impeller are welded by S.S. It's holding a high ability to resist corrosion.

Why do clients prefer centrifugal degasser?

The vacuum vessel type degasser is the traditional vacuum degasser in China, it is a self-contained type and not need an extra jetting pump. The working principle is as below:
The vacuum pump creates negative pressure in the horizontal type vacuum tank, so it can suck the mud from the mud tank under the vacuum degasser, then the mud spray to the tank wall through surrounded windows of the hollow shaft. The mud separated into thin layers, bubbles immersed in the slurry breakup, and gas escaped. Gas is discharged to a safe zone from the gas separator through the suction of the vacuum pump and the separation of the gas water separator.
It's a typical vertical degasser that occupies less space. Such degasser is a rather powerful and energy-saving design. From the drive to the filtration configuration at the input bottom it leads to good performance and the ability to suit the different working conditions.

How do we ensure the balance of internal structure in the degasser during operation?

The shaft upside is steadily fixed with the main structure, and the impeller and shaft are connected by fixing plate and bolts. The bottom of the degasser vessel is designed with a stabilizer to avoid shake or vibration. Furthermore, the shaft and impeller will be processed by dynamic balance for better performance.
Some clients may find out our centrifugal degasser is different from other manufacturers in some detail.
Ye. Our degasser is powered by a 30HP motor, this will help get higher efficiency and better performance. Especially when the mudflow rate is high during the deep oil well drilling.

AIPU centrifugal degassers have been proven with high efficiency and good performance.

Oil drilling mud centrifugal degasser is the 2nd purification equipment in the whole drilling mud system. It's similar to a vacuum degasser. Centrifugal degasser is vertical and with the submerged pipe. It is set behind of shale shaker before desander or mud cleaner. Their working principle is similar, too. The difference is centrifugal degasser occupies less space and there is only one model APLCQ300 holding 300m³/h capacity.

Drilling mud after degassed by centrifugal degasser will be pumped to mud cleaner or desander cone. The degassed fluids are easy to handle during further circulation. The submerged design helps to suck drilling mud from the tank bottom and under the powerful force, bubbles will break and let the gas out. The gas then will flow out of the vent line

Centrifugal degasser is popular with more and more users. Given the compact design and its flow rate. Compared to other suppliers' degasser, AIPU provides high-quality products and services in detail. Such as drilling mud input and the vacuum pump design.
