Product Overview
The Kapwell Atmospheric degasser is the most effective and efficient meets the stringent requirement.
Kapwell supply customised CE / UKCA marked ATEX Zone 1 certified atmospheric degasser to suit the client requirements. All our components are NACE certified and manufactured to the highest quality.
Our degassers are designed to achieve an effective gas-liquid separation and ensure a smooth transition of toxic gases to the exhaust pipe.
Kapwell degasser ensures the best mud recovery and stabilises mud viscosity. Our Atmospheric degassers consist of ASME certified degasser vessel, vacuum pump, motor and control cabinet. The drilling mud from the shaker mud tank gets sucked into the vacuum degasser by a vacuum created by a regenerative vacuum/blower. The vacuum degasser then bursts the mud bubbles, causing a release of harmful gasses such as methane, H₂S, and CO₂ from the mud to the surface. The toxic gases then discharged away from the rig at a safe distance to a flare line or other point of disposal

Applications
Power Plants
In power plants, atmospheric deaerators are used to remove dissolved gases from the feedwater used in the boilers. The presence of dissolved gases in the feedwater can cause corrosion and damage to the boiler and other downstream equipment. The atmospheric deaerator can remove up to 99% of the dissolved gases, making the feedwater suitable for use in the boilers.
Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, atmospheric deaerators are used to remove dissolved gases from process water and other liquids used in various chemical processes. The presence of dissolved gases can affect the chemical reactions and the quality of the final product. The deaerator can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the chemical processes and ensure consistent quality of the final product.
Oil and Gas Industry
In the oil and gas industry, atmospheric deaerators are used to remove dissolved gases from water used in drilling and production processes. The presence of dissolved gases can cause corrosion and damage to the equipment used in these processes. The deaerator can help improve the efficiency and lifespan of the equipment and ensure safe and reliable operations.
Pharmaceutical Industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, atmospheric deaerators are used to remove dissolved gases from water and other liquids used in the production of drugs and other medical products. The presence of dissolved gases can affect the purity and effectiveness of the final product. The deaerator can help ensure consistent quality and effectiveness of the medical products.
Water Treatment
Atmospheric degassers are also used in water treatment plants to remove dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from water. These gases can make the water taste bad and also cause corrosion in pipes and other equipment. Atmospheric degassers are used to remove these gases and improve the quality of the water.
Food and Beverage Industry
In the food and beverage industry, atmospheric deaerators are used to remove dissolved gases from liquids such as water, juice, and beer. The presence of dissolved gases can affect the taste, color, and texture of the final product. By removing these gases, the deaerator can help improve the quality and consistency of the final product.
