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

How vacuum degassers remove harmful gases from drilling fluids
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.
Gas-cut drilling fluid enters the degassing vessel through the inlet pipe.
The vacuum pump reduces pressure inside the vessel, lowering the solubility of gases in the fluid.
The high-speed impeller creates thin fluid films and turbulence, liberating trapped gas bubbles.
Liberated gases are extracted by the vacuum system and safely vented away.
Degassed drilling fluid exits through the bottom outlet, returning to the active system.
