Centrifugal Degasser Detailed Overview
The centrifugal degasser, also known as an atmospheric degasser, is a high-efficiency specialized equipment for removing gas bubbles from aerated drilling fluid. Utilizing centrifugal force to create turbulent thin-wall flow, it rapidly ruptures gas bubbles for exhaust discharge. The APLCQ300 model is designed and manufactured in strict compliance with API standards, meeting all HSE requirements for safe and reliable operation.
Primary Application: As a compact, efficient atmospheric degasser, it is widely used in petroleum drilling, HDD operations, CBM extraction, shale gas drilling, and geothermal drilling where space constraints and high-efficiency gas removal are critical requirements.
Applications & Performance
The centrifugal degasser provides essential gas removal capabilities in various drilling applications:
- Fluid Optimization: Removes H₂S, CO, and CH₄ gases to restore mud density and viscosity stability
- Equipment Protection: Reduces gas corrosion on pumps, valves, and other downstream equipment
- Dual Functionality: Serves as 22kW high-torque agitator for mud homogenization and mixing
- System Integration: Enhances overall solids control system performance when combined with shakers, centrifuges, and other equipment

How It Works
The centrifugal degasser operates by creating a high-velocity vortex within the separation chamber. Drilling fluid enters tangentially, creating centrifugal force that separates gas from liquid. The turbulent thin-wall flow rapidly ruptures gas bubbles, which are then exhausted through the vent port. The degassed fluid exits through the bottom outlet, while the separated gases are safely vented away from the working area.

Customer Testimonials
What our clients say about AIPU Centrifugal Degassers
We've been using the AIPU APLCQ300 centrifugal degasser on our offshore platform in the North Sea for over two years. The compact design was crucial for our space-limited platform, and the dual-function capability as both degasser and agitator saved us valuable deck space. Efficiency has been consistently above 95%.
Our operations in Kazakhstan required compact, efficient equipment that could handle harsh conditions. The AIPU centrifugal degasser has performed exceptionally well, with the added benefit of no feed pump requirement. Maintenance has been minimal, and the equipment has held up well in our high-H₂S environment.
The space-saving design of the AIPU centrifugal degasser was exactly what we needed for our mobile drilling rigs in the Appalachian Basin. The dual-function operation reduced our equipment count, and the self-priming design eliminated maintenance on feed pumps. Performance has been reliable across multiple wells.
