CORSICANA, Texas, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Birchtech Corp. (TSX: BCHT) (OTCQB: BCHT) (“Birchtech” or the “Company”), a leader in specialty activated carbon technologies for sustainable air and water treatment, today announced the appointment of Dr. David Mazyck as the Executive Director of Innovation and Commercialization as well as Christopher Rinaldi as Director of Strategic Operations, effective immediately.

Dr. Mazyck will continue to oversee Birchtech’s technology development for water treatment and will concurrently direct the commercialization activities for the Company’s water business. The announcement of Dr. Mazyck falls during the Company’s exhibition at the American Water Works Association (AWWA) annual “ACE” Conference in Booth 4114 through June 11, 2025, in Denver, Colorado.

An active AWWA member, Christopher Rinaldi brings over 30 years of executive experience within the water treatment sector across North America and, most recently, as President & CEO of the North American Filtration where he oversaw seven major entities under the NAF umbrella located across the NE and SE.  Rinaldi’s role at Birchtech is focused on securing strategic partnerships for the Company’s sustainable, highly effective water treatment solutions and activated carbon technologies that address crucial challenges faced by various industries and municipalities.

Revenues in our water treatment business are expected to grow significantly in the last half of this year from not only our Design Center testing services, but in-market sale of granular activated carbon for water treatment applications. Dr. Mazyck’s expanded role further reinforces his important position both in the industry and in our company. Taken together, Dr. Mazyck’s unique expertise and Mr. Rinaldi’s deep industry knowledge, combined with our existing robust commercial team, will help to strengthen our future prospects as we secure our market position in the water sector.”
