CD-1400 Centrifugal D-GASSER

The M-I SWACO CD-1400 Centrifugal
MUD D-GASSER* unit provides an
innovative and space-saving solu-
tion 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, multi-
plying 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
