Advanced contaminant removal.

From rapid small-scale column testing (RSSCT) and Birchtech Carbon Rejuvenation™ (rjGAC™) to engineered systems and high-performance media, our technologies are designed to meet the most stringent regulatory standards for both potable and industrial water applications — more sustainably and affordably.

We are a media-agnostic, data-driven partner: the right technology matched to the right contaminant, validated by lab data before a system is ever installed.

30% lower lifecycle cost. Across four contaminant streams.

Mid-Atlantic Utility

A Mid-Atlantic coal-fired utility partnered with Birchtech across multiple plant locations to address boiler-feed filtration plus wet-scrubber wastewater contaminated with boron and selenium — the same integrated, data-driven approach we bring to every PFAS engagement, applied at industrial scale.

Coal-fired utility where Birchtech deployed multi-stream water treatment

The Challenge

  • Multiple plant locations and water touch points
  • Filtration protecting reverse-osmosis boiler feed
  • Wet-scrubber wastewater — boron, EPA-regulated
  • Wet-scrubber wastewater — selenium, EPA-regulated

The Approach

  • Water analyzed from four different sources
  • Sand + anthracite media for RO protection
  • Anion and cation exchange resins for boron
  • Pilot-tested proprietary adsorptive media for selenium
