Birchtech’s patented two-part SEA® sorbent approach raised the bar across the U.S. power sector — achieving mercury capture rates that exceed the EPA’s stringent MATS standards. Believed to be in use by more than 40% of the U.S. coal-fired fleet.
Our advanced, patented two-part approach to mercury emissions reduction raised the bar across the U.S. sector — achieving mercury capture rates that exceed stringent, federally-mandated environmental standards (the EPA MATS ruling).
Believed to be currently in use by more than 40% of the U.S. coal-fired power plant sector, SEA® Technologies ensure power generated from coal is produced in a more environmentally friendly manner — providing cleaner air and allowing the recycling of an important by-product of mercury emissions, coal ash, for use in important industrial applications such as cement, roads, and building materials.
Our targeted Emissions Management Services deliver precision, compliance, and optimization for mercury control needs. Our SEA® technologies, coupled with a data-driven approach, ensure a custom fit for your plant’s specific requirements aligning with stringent environmental standards for a cleaner future.
We equip our customers with comprehensive data sheets for our SEA® Sorbent Technologies, detailing everything from technical specifications to operational best practices.

Download PDFOur SEA® Technologies have transformed mercury emission control and coal-fired power generation. Across the U.S., Birchtech’s systems are estimated to treat over 31 million tons of coal annually* — dramatically reducing mercury emissions and enhancing environmental health. We stand firmly behind them with 100% satisfaction: supply customers are guaranteed to meet stringent federal and state emissions regulations confidently and cost-effectively, with continuous, optimized performance aligned to each utility’s financial and operational goals.
*Based on 2023 supply revenue and EIA data — about 7% of total U.S. coal-plant consumption.
