The feature and benefit of mud gas separator
Mud gas separator is also called poor boy degasser. It’s a special equipment to get rid of large quantity invaded harmful gas during oil and gas drilling
Why we need mud gas separator?
Mud gas separator is a special equipment to treat the gas cut drilling mud. Gas cut drilling mud will cause density and viscosity of drilling mud greatly deviate from normal parameters, it cannot meet the requirements in drilling well project, especially cause of kick and blowout accident. The combination of mud gas separator and flare ignition device can treat gas cut drilling mud timely, it is a popular used product.
Features of mud gas separator
Large effective vessel capacity
Removal of dangerous H2S and other poisonous gas
Baffle plates in vessel
Customizable specification
Backpressure manifold with flare ignition line
Effective U-tube or mud seal configuration
Skid-mounted design with lay down legs
Optional elevating type
Benefits of mud gas separator
High process efficiency during continued drilling
Promotes safe drilling environment
Efficient removal of free gas
Built to match drilling program and application
Control delivery of gas to the flare line
Control of retention time of gas-cut mud in the vessel
Optimizes process effectiveness and efficiency
Easy transportation, rig-up and rig-down
Adaptable for different drilling height or other conditions
Mud gas separator for drilling fluids solids control
Mud gas separators in other countries also called poor boy degasser, liquid-gas separators, mud/gas separators, etc. Aipu solids control design and manufacturing mud gas separator is an extremely reliable, vital piece of safety equipment for today’s drilling operations.
It is ideal for use where drilling is likely to encounter large volumes of gas, sour gas or when an operator is drilling with an under balanced mud column. This mud gas separator is primarily used to separate and safely vent large pockets of free gas, which may include toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, etc. from the drilling fluids processing system.
Poor boy degasser is located between choke manifold and shale shaker, it has a pipeline for discharging gas directly. According to practical experience, the thruput of poor boy degasser must be reached five times design circulation. The inner diameter of drilling fluid exit pipeline should be not less than the inner diameter of inlet pipeline, drilling fluid will be directly discharged in inlet manifold of shale shaker or mud tanks.
Aipu solids control is professional manufacturer on high quality degassers including mud gas separator and other solids control equipments.
Welcome to discuss the technical specification with Aipu technician, so we can improve our design to suit for international market use.
