Gas Buster is also called mud natural gas separator or poor son degasser, which is a safety products used on oilfield to remove often the gas from drilling body fluids. The gas in the drilling fluids is coming from subterranean with very high pressure. The particular worse is that the gas is actually flammable and sometimes poisonous.

Where you can the locate the natural gas buster on an oilfield
Its well known that the solids control equipments prefer remove the solids from the drilling fluids so that the fluids could possibly be reused. Greatly could be preserved by recycling the drilling fluids. Strictly speaking, however the gas buster is not 1 type of solids control products, it always appears as well as solids control equipment. A number of mud engineers will set gas buster out of however ahead of the mud recycling tank, some ones even straight put the gas buster atop the mud tank . When there is drilling liquids coming out from the drilling pit with cut in ruthless gas, unless the gasoline is removed, the drilling fluids will be not be carefully guided to the shale shakers unit for recycling where possible.

How does gas buster job
The drilling fluids with good pressure gas will be to begin with guided to chock question for pressure relief. And after that the drilling fluids will likely be guided to gas buster. Inside the gas buster there exists a device named distribution water pipe which could decompose big mass gas into small propane bubbles. The gas pockets coming out of the distribution water pipe will directly float max and build up at the higher part of the gas buster boat and then guided out from the water line at the top of the vessel. Typically the slurry coming down will then copied to the shale shaker intended for mud cleaning system .
As mentioned before, often the gas separated by the fuel buster is always flammable as well as poisonous. It cannot be released to environment directly. The normal practice is to guide the propane somewhere 50-100 meters miles away from the rig and the burned by an igniter unit.
Gas buster and igniter device are not used often, they are just like the fire extinguisher. However , to a oilfield drilling site, especially a strong drilling site, they are fundamental.

GN decanter centrifuge is a 2-phase centrifuge separator. It is widely used in oil and gas drilling field, horizontal directional drilling, CBM drilling, wastewater separating andother underground construction activities.

GN decanter centrifuge is sold to worldwide jobsite and running stable at different jobsite.
Why GN decanter centrifuge running stable? As GN professional team equips many safety protection designs to support it.
Some of the safety features of GN design decanter centrifuge:

Safety feature 1: Vibration sensor for GN decanter centrifuge
GN decanter centrifuge is equipped with vibration sensor to protect the centrifuge from abnormal vibration. When the centrifuge is blocked or there is something wrong with it, there should be big and abnormal vibration. With the vibration sensor protection, the centrifuge can be stopped automatically in this condition to avoid further damage to it.

Safety feature 2: Bearing temperature protection of GN design decanter centrifuge. There are sensors equipped for the main bearings of GN decanter centrifuge.
If the centrifuge is not running well, or there is something wrong happed to the centrifuge, there may be not abnormal vibration, so the vibration sensor is not workable in this condition. But the bearing temperature may be increased. It means there is something wrong with the bearing. If it cannot be stopped immediately, it will damage the bearing and then further damage the centrifuge bearing base and impeller. With the main bearing temperature sensor, when the temperature is over the set figure, the PLC system will stop the centrifuge automatically, then operator can come and check the centrifuge.

Safety feature 3: Cover open switch
It is dangerous and prohibited to open the centrifuge collection box cover during shipment. All GN centrifuges equipped with cover open switch. In case the operator wrongly open the collection box cover, the centrifuge will be stopped automatically to avoid human hurting.

Safety feature 4: Overload protection.
In case the centrifuge is overload, if it cannot be solved on time, it may broke the centrifuge auger and bearings, and burned the motors. GN centrifuge are equipped with overload protection. When there is an overload condition, the centrifuge will be stop automatically for protection.

With all the safety features, GN decanter centrifuge can be running well in different jobsite.
