Hydro Cyclones Concept
• Hydro Cyclones are used on the wet Inlet
classification equipment such as:
– De-Sander
– De-Silter
Wet Cuttings
wet cuttings to drop down due to the G-
Force.
Vacuum degasser
– Operates by separating gas-cut mud into thin layers
followed by drawing off the gas with a vacuum
pump.
– The thin layers are achieved by flowing the mud
over a series of baffles.
Installation
– Degassers should always take suction from the tank
near the sand trap and discharge to the adjacent
downstream tank.
