Mud Gas Separator

Mud Gas Separator is commonly called as gas-buster or poor boy degasser. It captures and separate large volume of free gas within the drilling fluid. If there is a "KICK" situation, this vessel separates the mud and the gas by allowing it to flow over baffle plates. The gas then is forced to flow through a line and vent it to a flare. A "KICK" situation happens when the annular hydrostatic pressure in a drilling well temporarily (and usually relatively suddenly) becomes less than the formation, or pore, pressure in a permeable section downhole, and before control of the situation is lost. It is always safe to design the mud/gas separator that will handle the maximum possible gas flow that can occur.Model YQ 800 YQ 1000 YQ 1200 Vessel Diameter mm (inch) 800 1000 1200 Working Pressure Mpa (psi) 1.0 ~ 1.6 1.2 ~ 1.6 1.2 ~ 1.6 Capacity m3/h (bbl/min) 200 240 340
