Hydrogen & Gas Blending Equipment
- Renewables
Many industrial, municipal, and agricultural facilities generate a source of gas as a byproduct of their operations. The classic problem for these Customers is that the gas generation is variable – both in quantity and in quality, and therefore unsuitable for use as a fuel gas by itself. However, by blending this byproduct gas with another gas of known quantity and quality, these Customers can take advantage of using their own gas to offset utility bills, and save emissions and waste. Aether gas blenders are used for this primary purpose – allowing Customers to utilize their own gas without flaring or venting, and improving their carbon footprint in the process.
Hydrogen Blending – The future of gas usage will include hydrogen. Many Customers are now exploring how to use this abundant gas, and in the transition period, to blend H2 with CH4, to reduce their carbon footprint. The Aether AFC blender, designed with materials of construction compatible with Hydrogen, is the solution.

Refinery Gas with NG to limit flaring – refineries have multiple sources of byproduct gases – some of them rich in BTU content and some of them too lean to utilize alone. Flaring and/or venting have been traditionally used to get rid of these gases. Now, by blending these with a pipeline-quality natural gas, reduced flaring and increased emissions compliance can be realized. Aether AFC-powered Recover blend systems can be used for these Customers.
NG and RNG Blending – Renewable natural gas, typically sourced from animal or agricultural waste, can be blended with pipeline quality natural gas in order to fully utilize a waste resource, reduce emissions, and reduce carbon footprint. Gas from digesters, covered lagoons, and waste pits can all be blended with high quality natural gas using our AFC blenders.
Off Spec Gas Blending for Fuel Gas – many Customers facility processes generate gases that are high in sulfur or moisture or other contaminants, that alone cannot be reliably used for fuel a combustion unit. However, blend that gas at controlled rates, and the gas may be able to be used for beneficial purposes. Sagebrush can evaluate individual cases and simulations, using Aether blender technology, to evaluate gas blends and usability.
