Vacuum degasser ensures proper mud weight pumped down well to prevent potential blowout in drilling

Vacuum Degasser as a second stage cleaning equipment is mainly use to remove gas immerged in mud. It is usually fixed after shale shakers. Vacuum degasser ensures proper mud weight pumped down well to prevent potential blowout in drilling. It’s a very important equipment in degassing process. So what is the differences between world famous brand Derrick Vacu-Flo Degasser and KOSUN VD240 Degasser?

 Vacuum Degasser as a second stage cleaning equipment

Derrick Vacu-Flo Degasser:

High efficiency/full vacuum

Corrugated, stacked leaves for increased surface area

Side access door for simplified maintenance

Compact design

Derrick Vacu-Flo degassers have a more efficient vertical tank design than traditional horizontal degassers, offering over 217% more surface area than alternative designs. This additional capacity results in no increase in vessel size, tank space requirements, unit weight, or reconfiguration of pit arrangements. A 5 HP vacuum pump, capable of pulling 29” Hg, draws mud into the degassing chamber where decreased pressure causes gas bubbles to surface from the fluid more rapidly. A stacked, corrugated fiberglass leaf arrangement and multiple feed ports provide higher fluid impact, thinner layers of mud dispersion, and greater turbulence for more efficient gas removal. Derrick’s Vacu-Flo degassers offer convenient access to the leaf assembly and float mechanisms (without having to remove the vessel lid) through an oversized access door. This feature significantly reduces downtime and maintenance costs compared to other units. The Vacu-Flo Degasser has a leaf capacity of 14,528 square inches.

KOSUN Solids Control VD240:

KOSUN VD Series Vacuum Degassers are able to service the needs of any application. Unlike the traditional vacuum degasser, KOSUN VD vacuum degasser is a self-contained unit. The gas-cut mud is drawn into the degasser by a vacuum created by a regenerative vacuum without needing centrifugal pump .Moreover, KOSUN degasser can act as a big agitator for the drilling mud, which helps the treatment for desander and desilter. KOSUN also have Atmospheric/Centrifugal Degasser available as an alternative to the standard vacuum type degasser.
