As we all known, GN Solids Control Company are specialize in providing turnkey solutions for customers on solids control and waste management systems. It’s important to provide customers with best quality equipments such as shale shakers, mud cleaners, decanter centrifuges and cuttings dryer etc. Some other auxiliary equipments are also quite important when it comes to show a perfect function for the whole system.
Today we would like to give you a brief introduction on GN mud degasser. Mud degasser is also called poor boy degasser sometimes.
GN mud degasser is a useful equipment to eliminate the gas from drilling fluids before the fluids is sent to solids control systems. Although the mud degasser is not always used in the drilling process, it’s quite important when there is much gas in the drilling fluids. Because too much gas can destroy the solids control equipment. For the gas separated from the drilling fluids, some of it might be SO2 which is very harmful for people’s health. So usually there is one flare igniter connected with the mud degasser, the harmful gases can be burnt in a quite far place.
The mechanical structure of GN mud degasser is very simple. Just take GNZYQ 1000A as an example, the tank diameter is 1000mm. Drilling fluids first run along with the inlet pipe which is 4 inch, then it will hit several baffle plates. Due to the large pressure, the collision force is big enough to separate the gas from drilling muds and run out from the outlet pipe which is 10 inch to a flare igniter or to some other faraway place.
For the after treated drilling fluids, it is sent to solids control system for further separation. Sometimes, there will be a vacuum degasser right in the back of shale shaker. The vacuum degasser is used to eliminate gases in small diameters. Different situations might need to use different equipments, so if you have any further questions, welcome to contact us directly.
