Birchtech Corp. is an environmental technology company dedicated to developing and delivering advanced solutions for air and water purification. The company is widely recognized for its specialty activated carbon technologies, which are engineered to help industries reduce harmful emissions and remove contaminants from water in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.
Originally known as Midwest Energy Emissions Corp., Birchtech rebranded in 2024 to reflect its expanded focus beyond air quality into broader environmental technologies, including innovative approaches to treating “forever chemicals” like PFAS and PFOS in water.
At the core of Birchtech’s offerings is its patented SEA® sorbent technology, a best-in-class solution widely adopted in the U.S. energy sector for capturing mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. Building on this legacy, the company is actively commercializing cutting-edge water treatment systems designed to support utilities and industrial clients facing emerging regulatory and compliance challenges.
