Maintenance and Installation of Drilling Mud Gas Separator
December 1, 2014
Applicable scope of mud gas separator
Mud gas separator is supporting the use of the choke manifold, for free gas which can be used in under balanced drilling and drilling fluid containing hydrogen sulfide gas from the drilling fluid.
Working principle of mud gas separator
Mud gas separator gas cut drilling fluid from the inlet tangential separator into the separator, along the inner wall falls within a range of specially designed baffles,collision, increased exposed surface area, the downward flow, resulting in a turbulent flow, gas and drilling fluid separation. Free gas through the exhaust gas outlet tank top, exhaust pipes and equipment is determined by the length of the field, and lead to a safe place, while drilling into circulation after degassing tank.
Maintenance of mud gas separator
Mud gas separator device when not in use within the drilling fluid and rinse with water, put a clean, non-splitter body will store the mud, unable to prevent the mud to dry properly.
Installation of mud gas separator
Under normal circumstances, the liquid – gas separator tank installed in the mud frontier surface, ground required level, solid, and pre-
bolt hole.When installed with a crane lifting lug to hang the top of the body perpendicular to the ground, slow down, and then use the rope from the upper part three (uniform) and ground taut, ensure the body perpendicular to the ground, casting anchor bolts, fastening.
