CD-1400 Centrifugal D-GASSER

The M-I SWACO CD-1400 Centrifugal MUD D-GASSER* unit provides an innovative and space-saving solution to degassing problems. The D-GASSER units use a patented, centrifugal-force system rather than conventional vacuum or impact systems. M-I SWACO D-GASSER units exert centrifugal force to the mud, multiplying the force acting on the gas bubbles to increase buoyancy and release. The increase in buoyancy accelerates the bubble-rise velocity. As the bubbles rise toward the surface, they escape the mud and are further broken down by flow turbulence. The freed gas and the gas-free mud are then separately discharged as desired.

Features and Benefits

Removes entrained gases. The centrifugal D-GASSER units remove all of the entrained gases from the drilling fluids in the return flow by using high-speed centrifugal force. Reduces potential blowouts. The removal of entrained gases, including H2S and corrosive oxygen, from drilling fluids reduces the threat of dangerous and costly blowouts caused by recirculating gas-cut mud. In-tank mounting. Easy-to-install, in-tank mounting virtually eliminates the need for rig-floor space. Energy efficient. System requires less energy to operate with UL-approved, 25-hp, explosion-proof 230/460 VAC 3-phase 60-Hz motor. Self-contained. The unit is complete with centrifugal cylinder unit, screens, electric motor and mount. High performance. Provides lowest hp/GPM throughput ratio, generating up to 1,300 GPM (4,921 L/min).
