In drilling operations, treating gas-cut mud caused by well kicks is a critical link in ensuring well control safety and maintaining mud performance. The drilling fluid vacuum degasser manufactured by KOSUN provides a reliable gas treatment solution for construction sites through its mature negative-pressure separation process and compact structural layout.
Negative Pressure Self-Priming Structure of the Vacuum Degasser
The KOSUN Vacuum Degasser adopts the industry-mainstream self-priming structure. Its core principle involves using a vacuum pump to extract gas from a sealed separation vessel, creating a significant pressure differential. Driven by atmospheric pressure, the mud automatically enters the vessel through the suction pipeline without the need for an additional centrifugal feeding pump. This compact layout reduces investment in auxiliary equipment and simplifies pipeline connections. It is particularly suitable for space-constrained operating environments, effectively minimizing potential system failure points.
Eliminating Corrosion Hazards and Reducing Maintenance Costs
Upon entering the vessel, the mud is sprayed and agitated by a high-speed rotating impeller. In a low-pressure environment, bubbles within the mud are rapidly ruptured, achieving swift separation of free gases. Through efficient degassing, this drilling fluid vacuum degasser eliminates cavitation damage to mud pump liners, pistons, and centrifuge bearings caused by gas intrusion. Simultaneously, the separated gas enters a water-gas separator; certain harmful gases are dissolved in water for treatment, while the rest are discharged safely. This process reduces the corrosion of pipelines and metal tanks by acidic gases, directly lowering repair and maintenance costs.
Compact Design Optimizing Tank Surface Space Utilization
To meet the strict requirements for equipment footprint at modern well sites, the KOSUN Vacuum Degasser has been structurally optimized. The overall design is compact, occupying minimal space. On the mud tank surface, this streamlined layout leaves more room for other solids control equipment while making lifting, transportation, and onsite installation more convenient and efficient.
Dual-Purpose Functionality: Serving as a High-Power Mud Agitator
The KOSUN drilling fluid vacuum degasser was designed with integrated utilization in mind. Under non-gas-cut conditions, due to its powerful internal circulating and spraying capabilities, the Vacuum Degasser can also function as a high-power drilling mud agitator. By continuously circulating the mud within the tank, it effectively prevents the settling of solid particles and ensures stable mud properties, achieving multi-functional value for a single unit across different working conditions. KOSUN focuses on enhancing product durability and field applicability. Through rigorous negative-pressure degassing processes and stable power performance, we are committed to providing global customers with solids control equipment that meets industry standards and delivers significant economic benefits.
