Features • Stacked leaves provide a very high surface area • Large surface area and corrugated plate design promotes efficient gas removal • Gas extraction from the side • Large access door • Vertical design decreases footprint • Automatic vacuum and flow rate minimises operator intervention • Easy inspection and maintenance Operational Overview The vacuum degasser uses a series of stacked, corrugated baffle plates and several feed ports to distribute the drilling fluid and encourage high fluid contact and turbulence within a vacuum chamber. A vacuum pump produces a low pressure condition inside the chamber that helps release the gas bubbles from the mud. A jet pump (venturi) draws the de-gassed mud from the bottom of the degasser chamber and discharges into a receiving tank.
