Advanced Environmental Technologies That Work
From our CHAR High Temperature Pyrolysis (HTP) Technology to leading-edge clean water and air treatment solutions, we deliver cost-effective solutions that meet our clients’ most challenging needs.
CHAR HIGH TEMPERATURE PYROLYSIS (HTP) TECHNOLOGY
Our HTP Technology converts challenging organic waste streams like manure, sludge, wood waste, biosolids, digestate, and others into three renewable and valuable outputs – heat, energy and biocarbon.
Key Benefits of HTP Technology
Mass Reduction of low-value organic waste mass by up to 90%, significantly reducing costs for material handling, transportation and disposal.
Heat Generation which can be recovered for on-site processes, including additional pre-drying stages.
Energy Generation from converting volatile compounds within the organic waste stream into syngas, where a small quantity can be used in a closed loop to fuel the system. Larger quantities of excess syngas can be used to generate additional renewable energy for on-site processes.
Biocarbon Production converts the low-value organic waste into a higher value biocarbon output that can be employed in many ways, including a biochar soil amendment or fertilizer, a bio-coal like CleanFyre, or an activated carbon like SulfaCHAR.
Wastewater Treatment (WWT) Systems
Our wastewater team specializes in high BOD applications, a common challenge for Food & Beverage processors, organics processors and RNG operations. These include:
Hydrokleen Closed Loop WWT Systems
This innovative wastewater treatment system combines membrane filtration with biological treatment to effectively convert effluent into potable quality water for reuse on-site. This turnkey technology package offers a small footprint, high energy efficiency, reduced GHG emissions, and an overall improved quality of effluent.
The System also transforms high pollutant wastewater to high quality water for reuse, delivering an integrated, closed loop wastewater technology package that reduces the costs of both water consumption and wastewater treatment on-site.
Compact Moving Bed Bio-Reactor (MBBR)
Our high-performance MBBR treatment technology utilizes a virgin polyethylene material Biochip with minimal thickness and a large surface area within the aeration tank. This creates a robust system with a compact footprint. The large surface area of our innovative MBBR + Biochip system produces only a minimal amount of sludge compared to conventional treatment methods. This Compact MBBR + Biochip system can handle large loads of wastewater while consistently achieving high-levels of contaminant reduction. It is a compact, cost-effective system that significantly reduces the costs of WWT discharge.
Advanced Reverse Osmosis (RO) Clean Water Systems
Our clean water treatment team specializes in designing efficient and economical RO solutions to convert wastewater, raw water or treated effluent into potable quality water for reuse on-site. This is often applied in industries including food & beverage processing, oil and gas production, mining, and other industrial sectors. Our advanced semi-permeable membranes work like a filter, effectively treating salt and contaminants to produce abundant amounts of clean water. Our team also focuses on delivering automated systems, including remote monitoring and control of each stage within the treatment process. Whether it’s seawater, brackish or treated effluent water, CharTech Solutions’ advanced RO clean water technology offers high recovery rates with low energy consumption and less operating costs.

Variable Throat Venturi Scrubber
CharTech Solutions engineers and delivers our venturi (wet) scrubber which has a small footprint, while delivering high efficiency, high reliability, and an adjustable throat to accommodate variable gas flows. Featuring a simple and compact design, our venturi scrubber is easy to control and maintain, and delivers greater than 99% removal of targeted contaminants. It’s a cost-effective solution that treats odours, acid mists, acid gases, aerosols, and particulate for industrial processes.
Adsorption Media Systems
CharTech Solutions specializes in designing and delivering optimal capex/opex adsorption media systems for effective gas treatment. Our conventional and innovative lead-lag vessel systems ensure easy maintenance and change-outs, while producing cost-effective, reliable vessels for clients globally.
CharTech Solutions will also help our clients source the right adsorption media for the application. We source high capacity activated carbons for the treatment of H2S and activated carbons for general use, including for the treatment of odours, siloxanes and VOCs, iron 2S in low to zero oxygen gas streams. CharTech can also set-up our clients to use SulfaCHAR, a zero-waste closed loop carbon solution made from on-site organic waste materials.
