Founded by Richard MacPherson, the company holds over 120 collective patents in activated carbon and sorbent technologies. The air purification division commercialized SEA Sorbent Technology, a patented mercury capture sorbent for coal-fired power plant flue gas that has exceeded federal MATS requirements since its first commercial deployment in 2011. In water treatment, Birchtech offers activated carbon products for PFAS, PFOS, and other drinking water contaminant removal; SEA-IX nuclear-grade ion exchange resins stocked domestically for immediate availability with ultra-low TOC and metal leakage specifications; Carbon Rejuvenation technology that restores spent activated carbon to performance comparable to virgin carbon; Rapid Small Scale Column Tests through dedicated design centers for fast pilot-scale carbon testing; and a PFAS Field Pilot Program generating regulatory-grade performance data before full-scale commitment. Birchtech also provides data-driven integration services offering media-agnostic recommendations coordinating technology providers, engineering firms, and utility clients to optimize compliance costs. The company serves coal-fired utilities, municipal water systems, nuclear facilities, and industrial boiler feedwater applications, with recent initial water treatment purchase orders totaling $0.9 million from a large Mid-Atlantic utility.
