ZECO Degassers provide effective degassing with high throughput by means of a unique centrifugal Vacuum design.

ZECO Degassers are capable of handling high viscosity 20 pound mud with a 50% gas cut. They can draw up to 800 gpm and discharge as much as 400 gpm.

The ZECO Degassing system is totally selfcontained on one skid. No auxiliary pump is required. Both suction and discharge are powered by a built-in Electric motor.

HOW IT WORKS
The mud is drawn into the Degasser by a vacuum pump at a constant vacuum level and spins in the Centrifugal Degassing Tubes at forces up to 25 g's. Mud flowing through the Degassing Tube inlets disperses in thin layers around the tube walls to maximize exposure of the mud surface to vacuum. As the thinstreamed mud spins through the tubes, the lighter entrained gas bubbles "rise" to the surface of the mud where they burst. The heavier is sprayed with considerable impact, into a turbulence hood, breaking out remaining gasses.

Gas is discharged through a blower to atmosphere or to a flare line. Degassed mud is returned to the Mud system through a specially designed centrifugal discharge pump.
