Services and products

One partner. Every stage of treatment.

A technology-driven integrator, not a single-product vendor. A data-driven, performance-based approach to the testing, media and systems each project needs, from first data to full-scale operation.

Analytical instruments at Birchtech’s RSSCT Design Center

Design Center testing

Rapid small-scale column testing (RSSCT)

At our Grand Forks, North Dakota Design Center, six independently operated columns screen candidate media side by side on your water, using a fraction of the water a full-scale pilot needs.

Birchtech PFAS field pilot skid

Field pilots

PFAS Field Pilot Program

A portable pilot skid tests granular activated carbon (GAC), ion exchange and catalytic carbon on site, under your flow and water conditions, so you see real-world performance data before capital is committed at full scale.

SEA-IX ion exchange media in drums and bags

Ion exchange media

SEA-IX™ ion exchange media

Nuclear-grade Core Series resins, plus BoroSelect for boron and MicroSelect for iron and heavy metals. For PFAS, we source the resin matched to your water.

  • Water treatment consultationAssessment, data review and a recommended approach.
  • System design & engineeringTreatment trains sized to the contaminant and target.
  • Media & equipment supplyActivated and catalytic carbon, mixed media, Model 4 and Model 10 carbon adsorbers.
  • Implementation & optimizationCommissioning, operational support and performance tuning.

What’s in your water

Bring the contaminant. We match the treatment.

Industrial wastewater, process water, drinking water and groundwater. Media and systems are selected for your water chemistry, not from a single catalog.

    OutcomeOngoing support

Before you enquire

Practical answers.

What should we send?

Whatever you have: a recent water analysis, the contaminant and target you need to meet, flow rate and current treatment. If data is missing, the team will tell you which additional analysis would help.

Do you only offer one type of media?

No. Birchtech evaluates activated carbon, catalytic carbon, ion exchange resins and media, and mixed media, and recommends what fits the water chemistry and operating goals.

What happens after we enquire?

The first review is free. Our applications engineering team replies within two business days, discusses the contaminants, the media worth testing and whether lab testing or a pilot is needed, then agrees a next step with you. Testing, engineering and other project services are scoped separately.

Your next step

Send us your water.

Bring your water analysis, contaminant or project requirement. We recommend the testing, media and system that fit.
