Brief introduction for mud gas separator

2018-08-07 19:36:10
Mud gas separator is a very important component in underbalanced drilling. A typical liquid gas separator is constructed of a cylindrical vessel with a series of baffles in it.

Principle of mud gas separator
The drilling fluid from the wellbore enters the separator, and the action of the fluid hitting the baffles separates easily removed gas from the fluid. The gas exits through a vent line at the top of the separator and is safety vented away from the rig floor. The mud exits the mud gas separator through a line near the bottom of “up hill” to return to the pit system.

Features and benefits of mud gas separator
1. Separate and vents large pockets of free gas accumulations, including toxic gases such as H2S,from the active system.
2. The separated gas is carried by vent lines to a remote location and flared. Fail-safe gas delivery is controlled by a back-pressure manifold valve in the flare line.
3. The unit is ruggedly built and coated with corrosion-resistant epoxy to ensure long life while processing hazardous and toxic gases.

Mud gas separator in other countries also called poor boy degasser, Liquid-gas separators, etc. Aipu solids control designs and manufactures ZYQ mud gas separators. 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 underbalanced mud column.
