Abstract

Techniques for improving a drilling fluid flow rate of a drilling fluid degasser by splitting the flow of the drilling fluid (e.g., drilling mud) are provided. An exemplary apparatus for degassing drilling fluid generally includes a pressure vessel; a vacuum blower in fluid communication with the pressure vessel; a slotted centrifuge tube having a cross-sectional area; a motor configured to power the vacuum blower and rotate the slotted centrifuge tube; an evacuation pump having an impeller connected with a lower end of the slotted centrifuge tube; and an inlet pipe spaced a distance away from the lower end of the slotted centrifuge tube, wherein the distance is based on a relationship between a cross-sectional area of the inlet pipe and the cross-sectional area of the slotted centrifuge tube.
