SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the installation, operation and maintenance instructions for
the Model CD-1400 Hurricane Centrifugal Mud Degasser w/Blower manufactured
by M-I Swaco.
When drilling mud is cut with entrained gas, the gas bubbles do not always break
out of the mud in a standard mud system. A degasser removes these small gas
bubbles from the mud before it goes back into the hole. The Hurricane Degasser
uses centrifugal force to separate the gas bubbles from the mud.
This symbols draws attention to the safety measures to prevent personal injury.
ATTENTION!
This symbol draws attention to the safety measures which must be observed to
prevent damage to the equipment.
NOTE:
This note draws attention to the general operating notes which should be
especially observed.
1
SECTION 2 PURPOSE
When drilling mud is exposed to gas at high pressure in the hole, some of the
gas dissolves into the liquid portion of the mud. As the mud is returned to the
surface, the pressure decreases allowing some of the gas to come out of solution
and form bubbles. Some of the bubbles burst as the gas-cut mud flows through
the shale shaker, but the smaller gas bubbles remain in the mud and drop in the
mud tank below the shale shaker. This gas-cut mud can cause a centrifugal
pump to vapor lock because the fluid at the pump inlet near the impeller center is
at a lower pressure. This lower pressure causes some of the bubbles to burst
and collect as free gas. As the amount of free gas increases, the pump inlet is
blocked and the pump might lose suction.
In addition, if the gas-cut mud is pumped back into the hole, the exact density of
the mud cannot be determined. This can cause a blowout if the weighted mud is
required to offset high bottom hole pressure.
The degasser removes entrained gas from the mud before the gas can cause
any of these problems.

SECTION 5 INSTALLATION
The degasser is shipped assembled with the exception of the shaft bottom and
the strainer. These items are shipped unassembled due to packaging of the
degasser. Follow the instructions in SECTION 5.3 for ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS and SECTION 5.4 for PIPING CONNECTIONS installation.
Remove the shipping bracket (9620593) and shipping blocks from the degasser.
Make sure the shipping bracket and shipping blocks are saved for later use.
Install the shaft bottom (FIGURE 5 on Page 7) over the shaft flush with the
paddle hub and secure with four set-screws provided.
Install the strainer screen to the casing with six bolts and nuts provided.
7
SECTION 5.2 MOUNTING
8
The degasser has a dry weight of approximately 2,382 lbs (1,217 kg) (**). It is
imperative that the mounting base on the tank is strong enough to support the
degasser.
It is recommended that the mounting base be two (2) I-beams welded to the tank.
The size of the I-beams will depend on the size of the tank. For an eight (8) foot
(2,440 mm) wide tank, a W8 X 18 I-beam or equivalent is recommended. A
minimum of four (4) 3/4-10 UN bolts and four (4) nuts, two (2) on each side are
needed to secure the degasser to the tank mounting base (FIGURE 6 on Page
8).
ATTENTION!
THE GEAR UNIT COMES WITH A VENTING SCREW. MAKE
SURE THE VENTING SCREW IS INSTALLED IN THE GEARBOX
BEFORE START-UP. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN
APPENDIX E, FLENDER MANUAL. DO NOT DISCARD THE
VENTING SCREW.
The CD-1400 uses a 460 or 575 volt, 60 Hz power source. Total current draw is
5 amps maximum, on 460 volts 60 Hz. The power supply cable should be a
good quality armored, 10-4 electrical cable.
Verify that the CD-1400 is wired for the proper voltage, see FIGURE 7 on page
11. Connect the electrical cable from the power source to the starter switch box.
Check and make sure all electrical connections are properly done. After
connecting the power source, turn starter switch to the on position. Verify that
mud is flowing from the mud discharge outlet. If mud is not flowing from the
outlet, the motor may be wired incorrectly with the electrical connections
9
reversed. If the motor is wired correctly see SECTION 7.3
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 18 for additional information.
Turn the blower on and verify that air is flowing from the gas discharge outlet. If
gas or air is not flowing from the gas outlet, the blower motor may be wired
incorrectly with the electrical connections reversed. If the motor is wired correctly
see SECTION 7.3 TROUBLESHOOTING on page 18 for additional information.
10
FIGURE 7. TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
11
SECTION 5.4 PIPING CONNECTIONS
The 6-inch mud discharge and the 1-1/4-inch gas discharge must be attached to
the appropriate discharge line.
Remove the blower assembly and flush fresh water through the gas discharge of
the degasser until clear water comes out of the bottom inlet. See FIGURE 8 on
page 13.
12
FIGURE 8. BLOWER REMOVAL
Remove the mounting bolts and nuts and remove the degasser from the tank
using suitable means and lifting shackles.
If the degasser is going to be shipped, remove the strainer, the shaft bottom and
install the shipping bracket, part number 9620593, and the casing cover/shipping
block. Refer to APPENDIX C S.S. 256 PACKING PROCEDURE on page 33 for
complete shipping instructions.
13
SECTION 6 OPERATION
Before starting the degasser, the gear unit housing must be filled to the proper
level with the correct grade of lubricant. Follow the instructions in APPENDIX E
on page 49 to check oil level. See lubricant Chart in APPENDIX E on page 49.
The gear unit is filled with synthetic oil (polyglycols) which are suitable for
extreme operating temperatures:
ATTENTION!
THE GEAR UNIT COMES WITH A VENTING SCREW. MAKE
SURE THE VENTING SCREW IS INSTALLED IN THE GEARBOX
BEFORE START-UP. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN
APPENDIX E, FLENDER MANUAL. DO NOT DISCARD THE
VENTING SCREW.
Before starting the degasser, make sure the following items are checked:
Pulse start the degasser to check for proper rotation. Proper rotation is
clockwise looking from the top (motor end) of the degasser. Correct if needed by
switching two of the three power supply leads.
14
If all these items check okay, start the degasser. It takes only a few seconds for
the degasser to start pumping mud. It will not damage the impeller on the
degasser to “run dry”. However mud should not be allowed to dry on the
impeller. This could cause the impeller to be out of balance and will vibrate
excessively. Excess vibration will damage the degasser.
ATTENTION!
STOP THE DEGASSER IMMEDIATELY IF THERE IS EXCESSIVE
VIBRATION. INSPECT THE IMPELLER FOR DRIED MUD OR
DEFECTS. IF DAMAGED, CONTACT MI-SWACO
REPRESENTATIVE.
The discharge mud flow rate will vary with the mud level and mud weight in the
degasser tank. The higher the mud level, the higher the flow rate. The higher
the mud weight the lower the flow rate. FIGURE 6 shows the minimum mud level
and the distance from the degasser mounting flange to the mud level.
NOTE:
THE OPERATING LEVEL SHOULD BE AT LEAST EIGHT (8)
INCHES ABOVE THE INLET (FIGURE 6 ON PAGE 8) AT ALL
TIMES OR MUD FLOW WILL BE IRREGULAR AND VIBRATION
COULD OCCUR.
15
SECTION 6.2 CLEANING IN PLACE
To prevent build up of caked mud around the impeller if the inlet is submerged,
the degasser should be operated at least five minutes daily. If the degasser is to
sit in a tank with the mud level below the inlet for more than one day, it should be
flushed out with clean water. Flushing the degasser can be done by removing
the check valve, shown in FIGURE 9, from the degasser when it is not running.
Make sure the power is off, tagged and locked. Flush fresh water through the
degasser until clear water comes out the bottom inlet.
ATTENTION!
DO NOT OPERATE THE DEGASSER IF IT IS CAKED WITH DRIED
MUD, THIS CAN DAMAGE THE IMPELLER AND GEARBOX.
16
SECTION 7 MAINTENANCE
All maintenance and repair work should be carried out with due care and only by
qualified personnel. The interval listed in FIGURE 10 on page 18 are dependent
on the use of the degasser.
NOTE:
UNDER DIFFERENT OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE PERIOD
SHOULD BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. MAINTENANCE OR
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR THE GEARBOX SHOULD BE
REFERRED TO APPENDIX E OF THIS MANUAL.
