CORSICANA, Texas — September 8, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Birchtech Corp. has reached an agreement in principle to acquire substantially all of the assets of a privately-held specialty activated carbon company. The proposed acquisition is intended to provide Birchtech with its initial commercial-scale processing and manufacturing capabilities, accelerating the Company’s move into thermal reactivation with its “Carbon Rejuvenation” technology.
Carbon Rejuvenation is a lower temperature thermal treatment process designed for the reuse of spent activated carbon. The target company’s operations are expected to complement Birchtech’s present Design Center footprint, which includes facilities in North Dakota and Pennsylvania. This addition is anticipated to offer a complete, scalable framework for rejuvenation services to the water treatment industry.

Richard MacPherson, Chief Executive Officer of Birchtech, stated that the acquisition could advance their carbon rejuvenation strategy by providing meaningful production capacity to service initial water customers. The parties are working towards the completion of a definitive agreement and closing.
The term sheet signed by the parties is non-binding, with the exception of certain provisions, including exclusivity. The proposed acquisition is contingent upon several factors. These include the negotiation and execution of a definitive acquisition agreement, the completion of Birchtech’s remaining due diligence, an audit of the target company, and the satisfaction of conditions to be outlined in the definitive agreement.
