Vacuum degasser and poor boy degasser is both are degasser in oilfield, there are some differences some maybe confused.
How do the two degasser works and the difference
This two pictures is the different work principle of the two digassers.
The left side is the vacuum degasser, and the right side is the mud gas separator(poor boy degasser).
The vacuum degasser suck the drilling mud and separated mud and gas by vacuum pump.
Our vacuum degasser operates on a “thin strata” principle. The drill mud enters the tank and forces it to flow and distributed to a layer of internal baffle plates engineered to allow the liquid inside the vacuum degasser to flow as thin film and is exposed to the vacuum within the vessel. This layer of mud allows the gas to escape or break out of the mud . The vacuum pump releases the gas and discharge it to the disposal line. Mud exits the vessel under the action of the venturi and is returned to the mud system.
The poor boy worked by the physical characters.
The GN MUD/GAS SEPARATOR (poor boy degasser) consists of a cylindrical pressure vessel in a fixed vertical position. Inside is a series of specially angled baffle plates, stepped from the top to the bottom. When contaminated mud is routed into the separator, it flows downward successively over each plate. During this process, the heads of entrained gases “break out.” The released gas is then carried by the vent lines to a remote location where it can be safely flared. Continue reading »

Solid control system, also referring as mud system, is used to separate the solids or gas from the drilling mud. There are several centrifugal mud separators such as hydro-cyclone separators (desander and desilter) and decanter centrifuge, and mud gas separator, which separate drilling mud and gas.
Hydrocyclone Separator
Hydrocyclone separator is always referring as desander and desitler, used after shale shaker in the solids control system. Usually the cone diameter is more than 6″is called Desander, and used as the second-control equipment in drilling operation. the cone diameter is less than 6″is called Desilter, and used as the third-control equipment in drilling operation. We commonly used 5 “and 4″ cone to separate solid-phase particle size 15-47μm in the drilling fluid.
Decanter Centrifuge
Decanter centrifuge are used to process unweighted and weighted, water-based and oil-based drilling fluids (muds). Mechanical energy is utilized to increase the gravitational force exerted on solids that are present in the mud system. Continue reading »

Oil Well Torch Introduction
The oil well torch is a electric ignition device, the oil well troch is used for igniting gas in oil and gas drilling. It is always used
company with the mud gas separator.GN Solids Control Flare Ignition Device is a good oil well torch and sells well all over the world.
The oil and well torch is a kind of handling arrangement used in blown down natural gas, the tail gas from collecting and distributing station of natural gas and from refinery.
The oil well torch can be used to ignited the harmful gas be fired which is used to be blown down. It is friendly to the enviorement. Continue reading »

Mud gas separator sizing and design selection is important for petroleum well drilling.Welcome to consult GN for the right sizing and fit design for your mud gas separator in oilfield drilling mud.
Recent wellsite disasters have led to an increased emphasis on properly sized mud/gas separators. To assure safty,we
Mud Gas Separator sizing design
should know mud/gas separator technology and recommends separator configuration, components, design considerations, and a sizing procedure. A simple method of evaluating mud/gas separation within the separator vessel has been developed as a basis for the sizing procedure. A mud/gas separator sizing worksheet will assist drilling personnel with the sizing calculations. The worksheet provides a quick and easy evaluation of most mud/gas separators for a specific well application. A brief discussion of other mud/gas separator considerations is provided, including separator components, testing, materials, and oil-based-mud considerations.
The mud/gas separator is designed to provide effective separation of the mud and gas circulated from the well by venting the gas and returning the mud to the mud pits. Small amounts of entrained gas can then be handled by a vacuum-type degasser located in the mud pits. The mud/gas separator controls gas cutting during kick situations, during drilling with significant drilled gas in the mud returns, or when trip gas is circulated up. Continue reading »

Drilling mud gas torch
Working procedure of drilling mud torch.
1. Have the flammable gas conveyed to the air intake of gas burner (torch) through the pipeline installed at the safe area.
2. Connect and start current transformation of electric ignition device and electric circuit of voltage amplification.
3. Open the liquefied gas pot and ignite fire-leading tube through operating electric ignite (ignition at first stage), or with the fire-leading gas valve of emptying gas directly opened, ignite fire-leading tube through electric igniter (ignition at first stage).
4. Open gas blown down valve and ignite the blown down gas through the flaming fire-leading tube (ignition at second stage).
5. Have the liquefied gas pot closed with fire-leading tube put out, letting the blown down flammable gas to freely burning.
