Vacuum Degasser and Mud Gas Separator

Vacuum Degasser
Application    
Gases are entrained in drilling fluid from the wellbore during normal drilling operation as well as during "kick" or well control situations, these gases present safety hazards and create operational problems, in case of the presence of hazardous gases, it is desirable to localize the point where gas is released from the mud by installing a vacuum degasser.

Features & Advantages
1. Absorbing the waste gas with its own power unit independently, without the extra centrifugal pump
2. Can be worked as high power drilling mud agitator
3. Eliminating the corrosion for the solid control equipment, reducing the cost for the maintenance
4. Compact design, saving space
Application
The field-proven KOSUN mud gas separator is an extremely reliable and vital piece of safety equipment for today 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. The KOSUN mud gas separator is primarily used to separate and safety vent large pockets of free gas, which may include toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, from the drilling fluid system.

Working Principle
Gas cut drilling fluid flows into mud gas separator through inlet mouth, hitting the impact panel and dispersing on a series of inner baffles, so the exposed surface is increased, then it flows downward to form turbulent flow, and gas will be separated from drilling fluid. Free gas can be discharged from the vent at tank top. The length of gas extraction pipe should be measured and connected on site, and leads to safety area. The degasificate drilling fluid will flow into cycling tank through shale shaker.

Mono Screw Pump Working Principle and Apllication

M ono screw pump , also called  sewage pump  or  progressive cavity pump ,  belongs to the rotor type positive displacement pump .   M ono screw pump  is depend ing  on the screw meshing with liner on the discharge and suction cavity to conveying liquid volume change.   It is a kind of method of pressurized screw pump, a main working parts by bushing has a double helix cavity (stator) and the stator cavity and its meshing singlehead screw screw (rotor).   When the input shaft through the universal joint drive making planets revolving around the center of the stator, rotor stator, rotor, vice is continuous mesh form sealed cavity, the seal chamber volume invariably uniform axial movement, the medium from the suction end of deputy to the stator, rotor pressure side, the suction medium sealed cavity through the stator without stirring and destruction. M ono screw pump  is an ideal pump used to feed drilling fluids to ...

Drilling Waste Disposal-Pit Burial

The use of earthen or lined pits is integral to drilling waste management. During most China  drilling operations, the drilling cuttings separated by the shale shaker are sent to a pit called the reserve pit located near the drill rig. The pit is generally open to the atmosphere, so it also accumulates stormwater and washwater from the rig. The strategic location of small pits near drilling sites can also help minimize spillage of drilling waste. Unless site characteristics are such that no significant threat to water resources can occur, liners are generally required. Where pits must be constructed adjacent to water bodies or on sloping terrain, engineering precautions incorporated into the design will help to ensure pit integrity. Precautions should be taken to prevent disposal of chemicals, refuse, debris, or other materials not intended for pit disposal. At the end of the drilling job, any hydrocarbon products floating on top of the pits are recovered and any free...

Drilling Waste Separation by Solidification and Stabilization

Drilling waste separation  from the mud at the shale shakers may be coated with so much mud that they are unsuitable for the drilling mud recycle or disposal step or are difficult to handle or transport. Constituents of the drilling cuttings or the mud coating them, like oil or metals, may leach from the drilling waste, making them unsuitable for land application or burial requirements. Kinds of materials can be added to drilling cuttings to solidify and stabilize them. Solidification is a technology that encapsulate the drilling waste in a monolithic solid of high structural integrity. The encapsulation may be of fine drilling waste particles or of a large block or container of drilling cuttings. Solidification does not necessarily involve a chemical interaction between the drilling waste separation and the solidifying reagents but may mechanically bind the drilling waste into the monolith. Contaminant migration is restrict...
