Sagebrush

What Sagebrush does

Sagebrush is a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based designer and fabricator of custom skid-mounted, modular engineered systems for the energy, utility, pipeline, and industrial markets. Founded as a pipeline-industry supplier in 1961 and re-formed under its current closely-held ownership through a 2019 merger with Aether DBS, the company operates three fabrication facilities totaling more than 156,000 square feet of covered workspace plus over 30 acres of lay-down yard. Its product portfolio spans gas and liquid measurement (ultrasonic, coriolis, orifice, rotary, turbine skids), regulation and flow control (pressure regulation, HIPPS, OPP, flow control, valve switching), traps and main-line products (pig launchers/receivers, MLV settings), filtration and separation, heaters (dew-point, line, performance, process), the proprietary AFC and Venturi blender families for synthetic natural gas, fully packaged SNG systems (AQUA-BLEND, AQUA-AIRE, AQUA-PAK, UTILI-PAK), hydrogen-to-natural-gas blending equipment (H2NG), RNG/biogas conditioning, and ammonia DeNOx systems for SCR emissions control.

The company manufactures to a broad code matrix — ISO 9001:2018, ASME Section VIII (NB Certified), API 1104, AGA, ANSI B31, CRN, CSA, CWB, DOT, FM, UL, and National Board — with in-house NDE, radiography, hydrostatic testing, and Factory Acceptance Testing. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based, project-specific sales of custom-engineered-to-order modular equipment, supplemented by aftermarket services (start-up, commissioning, spare parts, installation, field service, and annual preventative maintenance contracts). Sagebrush-branded equipment is sold directly, while Aether DBS products are distributed through a representative network covering the United States and more than 24 international markets across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Customers include pipeline and midstream operators, local distribution companies, refineries, power generators, and emerging clean-energy projects involving hydrogen blending and renewable natural gas.
