ABSTRACT:
A drilling mud degasser apparatus which has only a single moving part, namely, a unitary, hollow body rotatable within an open bottom casing, and the impeller of a suction pump connected to the interior of the rotor body. The casing and rotor are submerged in a pond of mud returned from a well or connected in a return mud line such that gas-cut mud entering the bottom of the rotor body is centrifugally thrown upwardly and outwardly to cause the liquid and/or sand components to travel up the wall of the rotor body and be discharged through outlet openings at the top of the body wall. Concurrently, released gases are drawn through inner gas outlets, at the top of the rotor body into the impeller housing and thence discharged. Differential discharge of sand and liquid components by centrifugal action may be provided as may a flotation collar for insuring uniform submersion of the casing beneath the liquid level.
