Degasser Equipment

Essential gas removal system for maintaining drilling fluid properties and rig safety

What is a Degasser?

A degasser is a critical component in solids control systems that removes entrained gases (such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide) from drilling fluids. These gases can compromise drilling fluid properties, reduce drilling efficiency, and create hazardous conditions on the rig.

JKZ degassers utilize vacuum technology to efficiently extract gases from drilling fluids, maintaining optimal mud weight and viscosity while improving safety. Our units are available in various capacities to match different rig requirements and drilling conditions.

Degasser Components

Key parts that make up a high-performance degasser

Degassing Vessel

Degassing Vessel

The main chamber where gas separation occurs. JKZ degassing vessels feature optimized internal baffles and impeller systems that create thin fluid films for maximum gas release. Constructed from corrosion-resistant steel with abrasion-resistant liners.

Our vessels are designed with proper retention time to ensure complete gas removal while maintaining compact dimensions for easy installation.

Vacuum Pump

Vacuum Pump

High-performance vacuum pump that creates the negative pressure needed for efficient gas removal. JKZ uses robust, oil-sealed rotary vane pumps specifically designed for drilling fluid applications.

Features include automatic oil lubrication, thermal protection, and easy maintenance access. Available in various sizes to match different degasser capacities.

Impeller System

Impeller System

High-speed rotating impeller that creates turbulence and thin fluid films to liberate trapped gases. JKZ impellers feature precision-balanced designs with wear-resistant coatings for long service life.

Our direct-drive motor systems provide reliable operation with minimal vibration, and feature adjustable speed controls for optimizing performance with different fluid types.

Control Panel

Control System

Advanced control panel with vacuum gauges, motor controls, and safety features. JKZ control systems include automatic shutoff protection, motor overload protection, and visual indicators for operational status.

Optional remote monitoring and PLC controls available for integration with rig control systems. All electrical components meet international safety standards.

Degasser Structure

Engineering design for optimal gas removal efficiency

Degasser Structure Diagram

JKZ degassers feature a carefully engineered structure designed to maximize gas removal efficiency while ensuring reliable operation. The key structural elements include:

Inlet Section: Designed to smoothly introduce drilling fluid into the degassing vessel without creating turbulence that could re-entrain gases.

Degassing Chamber: Large-volume vessel with optimized internal components that create thin fluid films and extended retention time for complete gas liberation.

Vacuum System: Creates the negative pressure environment that extracts gases from the fluid, with proper sealing to maintain consistent vacuum levels.

Gas Venting: Safe discharge system that routes removed gases away from work areas, with optional flare or collection systems for hazardous gases.

Support Structure: Heavy-duty frame with vibration isolation and corrosion protection for long service life in harsh environments.

Degasser Working Principle

How vacuum degassers remove harmful gases from drilling fluids

Vacuum Degassing Technology

JKZ vacuum degassers utilize the principle of reduced atmospheric pressure to extract dissolved and entrained gases from drilling fluids. The combination of vacuum pressure and mechanical agitation ensures thorough gas removal.

1

Fluid Inlet

Gas-cut drilling fluid enters the degassing vessel through the inlet pipe.

2

Vacuum Creation

The vacuum pump reduces pressure inside the vessel, lowering the solubility of gases in the fluid.

3

Mechanical Agitation

The high-speed impeller creates thin fluid films and turbulence, liberating trapped gas bubbles.

4

Gas Separation

Liberated gases are extracted by the vacuum system and safely vented away.

5

Fluid Return

Degassed drilling fluid exits through the bottom outlet, returning to the active system.
