ACD-1500

The Derrick ACD-1500 Atmospheric/Centrifugal Degasser is a unique in-tank alternative to the standard Derrick vacumn style degasser VDG 1200.

The Derrick ACD-1500 Atmospheric/Centrifugal Degasser agitates mud through a submerged 12” pump impeller relying on impact and turbulence to enable the separation of gas from the fluid. Strike plate adjustment of 0.25” to 1.25” allows variable flow capacity.

Vacu-Flo Degasser

Derrick Vacu-Flo degassers have a more efficient vertical tank design than traditional horizontal degassers, offering over 217% more surface area than alternative designs. This additional capacity results in no increase in vessel size, tank space requirements, unit weight, or reconfiguration of pit arrangements. A 5 HP vacuum pump, capable of pulling 29” Hg, draws mud into the degassing chamber where decreased pressure causes gas bubbles to surface from the fluid more rapidly. A stacked, corrugated fiberglass leaf arrangement and multiple feed ports provide higher fluid impact, thinner layers of mud dispersion, and greater turbulence for more efficient gas removal. Derrick’s Vacu-Flo degassers offer convenient access to the leaf assembly and float mechanisms (without having to remove the vessel lid) through an oversized access door. This feature significantly reduces downtime and maintenance costs compared to other units. The Vacu-Flo Degasser has a leaf capacity of 14,528 square inches.

*Please note: The Vacu-Flo Degasser Model 500 is no longer available.
