Birchtech designs site-specific PFAS treatment systems backed by lab-scale RSSCT piloting. Each pilot generates breakthrough curve data on your actual water chemistry — engineering-grade results your team can specify, size, and budget around before full-scale installation.

Birchtech is a specialty activated carbon technology company built around Rapid Small-Scale Column Testing. Before any media reaches your specification, it runs in our columns, on your source water, under simulated full-scale conditions. GAC, catalytic carbon, ion exchange resin, mixed media: the RSSCT determines what performs, because PFAS chemistry rarely fits a single solution.
Every candidate media — including our SEA-IX™ ion exchange resins, GAC, and mixed-media configurations — is evaluated head-to-head under RSSCT against your actual water chemistry. The breakthrough data decides the recommendation, not a default product line.
RSSCT runs are backed by EPA-aligned analytical methods — M533, M537.1, M8327, and M1633 — with 24/7 continuous sampling. Site-specific breakthrough curves replace catalog projections, so your team specifies around measured performance, not estimates.
The RSSCT is the front end of a complete engagement. From bench-scale piloting through system design, commissioning, and operational support, Birchtech serves as a single partner across the full treatment lifecycle — media, services, and lifecycle management.
Birchtech is a specialty activated carbon technology company and we work with adjacent media because PFAS chemistry doesn't fit one solution. Recommendations are driven by your water data, not our inventory.

RSSCT is fast because it has to be. Engineering decisions can't wait six months for full-scale pilot data.

PFAS is one of many contaminants Birchtech engineers around. The same RSSCT methodology applies to arsenic, selenium, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants, whatever your source water actually contains.

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.
