Burgess Magna-Vac tm Degassers
"The Finest Mud-Handling Systems
Available"
The
operation of the Burgess Magna-Vac tm Degasser
is both effective and efficient. The gas-cut mud is drawn into the degasser
by a vacuum created by a regenerative vacuum/blower. The mud enters the
vacuum chamber of the degasser through a rotating tubular body that has
rectangular windows in its wall. Mud accelerator vanes, located within the
rotor near the windows, radially spray the mud outward at a high velocity
(i.e., 20 feet per second) across the degasser's vacuum chamber inpinging
it against the outside wall of the circular vessel. The agitation and turbulence
created by this constant impinging action allows the oxygen and gas to separate
from the mud.
The
vacuum/blower then draws the released gases from the vacuum chamber and
discharges them away from the rig at a safe distance. The degassed mud flows
downward into the lower section of the degasser where it is evacuated by
an internal center-vented centrifugal pump which prohibits gas-locking.
The
self-contained degassers are normally supplied with a 3600 Revolutions Per
Minute explosion-proof motor with approval for use in hazardous locations.
All voltages and frequencies are available upon request. Hydraulically-powered
units are also available.
Efficiency
= Savings
The
Burgess Magna-Vac tm Degasser economically removes
gases and oxygen and helps keep the drilling mud at a desired weight. Additionally,
the unit can be used as a mechanical oxygen scavenger, extending the life
of the drill string by reducing corrosion, and creation more savings of
time and money. Efficiency at a fraction of the cost.
Quick
Installation...
The
Burgess Magna-Vac tm Degasser is easily installed on top of
the mud tank with rigid piping. It's as simple as that!
Field
Proven
The
Magna-Vac tm underwent extensive testing before being brought on the market
and has been in the field for years. Installations like this one have had
years of proven performance and reliability all over the world.
