What is a deaerator? What are the general types

In the drilling process, harmful gas generally exists inside the wellhead. Its existence reduces the hydraulic head of the drilling fluid and reduces the ability of the drilling fluid to carry cuttings; when the gas pressure in the well is large enough, it may cause a blowout accident. The presence of gas has always been a problem affecting drilling pumps and hydrocyclones. The degasser can quickly remove the invading gas in the drilling fluid, restore the specific gravity of the drilling fluid, and stabilize the performance of the drilling fluid. It is an indispensable equipment for deep well, ultra-deep well and underbalanced well engineering.

The degasser is an industrial equipment used in oil and natural gas drilling operations. It is part of the mud system and is used to remove gaseous pollutants from drilling fluids. Combined with solid removal devices such as vibrating screens, the deaerator helps to clean the drilling mud and allow it to continue to be reused during drilling operations. By removing air bubbles in the drilling fluid, the deaerator also helps reduce the risk of explosions and other hazards at the drilling site.

The combination of a vibrating screen that removes solids from the fluid is the key to effective drilling operations and plays an important role in the drilling process. This mixture of chemicals, oil and water is pumped into the borehole to remove cuttings and stabilize the borehole wall, then rise to the ground, carrying rocks and cuttings. In some types of wells, drilling mud may also bring back large amounts of natural gas, methane or carbon dioxide. These gases are not only dangerous to drilling operations, but also to nearby workers and equipment. When the gas is discharged from the borehole, it can be sucked into one of two different types of degassing devices. The vacuum degasser relies on vacuum pressure to separate gas and liquid.

Deaerator are generally divided into two categories: vacuum deaerators and atmospheric deaerators.

Xi'an Henglian produces deaerators. We have our own R&D team and our own factory, welcome to send inquiry to us: sales@hlsolidscontrol.com if you want to know more about deaerator.
