374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) has successfully demonstrated its AirSCWO technology in eliminating PFAS from Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPL) impacted groundwater samples from the U.S. Navy. The demonstration, sponsored by the Navy Environmental Sustainability Development to Integration Program, showed complete elimination of PFAS to non-detect levels and achieved >99.9% Chemical Oxygen Demand removal.
The technology addresses the challenge of treating groundwater contaminated with both petroleum products (LNAPLs) and PFAS, which pose significant risks to public health. The AirSCWO process uses supercritical water oxidation, operating above 374°C and 221 bar, to destroy organic compounds through oxidation.
In testing, samples containing 2,087 ppt of PFAS were processed through the AirSCWO reactor. After homogenization with an aqueous carrier phase producing a 66.8 ppt PFAS concentration feedstock, the treatment resulted in non-detect levels for all 40 PFAS compounds tested via EPA Method 1633, with the process completing in 25 seconds or less.
374Water Inc (NASDAQ: SCWO), a global waste destruction technology leader, has appointed Raj Melkote as Chief Technology Officer. Melkote brings over 30 years of R&D and engineering executive experience, specializing in commercializing innovative industrial technology products.
Previously serving as CTO at BayoTech Hydrogen, Melkote led innovation in modular hydrogen solutions. His experience includes roles at Edwards Vacuum, where he implemented machine learning for predictive diagnostics, and positions at Brooks Automation, Honeywell, United Technologies, and General Electric.
In his new role, Melkote will lead 374Water's Engineering organization, focusing on scaling the business and enhancing their AirSCWO technology. The company aims to develop larger capacity systems to address waste destruction needs across municipal, federal, and industrial markets.
374Water Inc (NASDAQ: SCWO) has announced peer-reviewed preliminary data showing 99.9999% destruction efficiency of PFAS in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) using their AirSCWO technology. The findings were published in the National Ground Water Association Journals by Arcadis researchers.
AFFF, widely used in firefighting for flammable liquid and gas fires, contains PFAS which pose significant environmental and health risks. With the U.S. Department of Defense and European Union mandating transition to fluorine-free firefighting foams in 2024, 374Water's AirSCWO system is positioned as a potential large-scale solution for AFFF disposal.
The Arcadis study identifies four waste types at AFFF remediation sites: concentrate, rinsate solutions, cleaning agents, and contaminated solid wastes. Unlike traditional disposal methods such as landfilling that carry long-term liability, the AirSCWO technology offers permanent destruction of these hazardous materials, positioning the company to support growing demand across federal, municipal, and industrial markets.
374Water Inc (NASDAQ: SCWO) has announced an updated timeline for deploying its AirSCWO 6 System at Orange County Sanitation District Plant No. 1. The project includes system manufacturing completion in March 2025, Factory Acceptance Test in May 2025, and system delivery to Fountain Valley, California in May 2025.
OC San, which processes over 180 million gallons of wastewater daily serving 2.6 million people, currently transports 525 wet tons of biosolids daily to California and Arizona. The deployment is expected to generate approximately $1.3 Million in revenue from Q2 to Q4 2025.
374Water engineers will manage operations for the first six months, conducting a Controlled Performance Study and training OC San staff. After one year, OC San will evaluate upgrading to the larger AirSCWO 30 system and potentially installing up to five AirSCWO 200 systems at its Huntington Beach facility.
374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) has announced its participation in a Department of Defense (DoD) project to demonstrate commercial-scale solutions for destroying PFAS contaminated wastes. The company will deploy its AirSCWO technology at Clean Earth's Detroit facility, in partnership with Arcadis and Clean Earth.
The project is a collaboration between the DoD Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). The initiative aims to provide treatment options for DoD installations affected by PFAS, particularly following the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act mandate to transition to fluorine-free firefighting foams by October 2024.
374Water's AirSCWO technology has demonstrated >99.99% destruction of PFAS compounds within seconds in commercial-scale applications, including Aqueous Film-Forming Foam, Granular Activated Carbon, and other waste streams. The system converts hazardous waste into clean water, mineral by-products, and recoverable heat energy.
374Water Inc (NASDAQ:SCWO) has published a white paper demonstrating their AirSCWO system's effectiveness in destroying PFAS-laden ion exchange resin. The system consistently achieved >99.9% total PFAS elimination in both bench and commercial scale field trials.
The paper addresses the critical issue of disposing spent anion IX (AIX) resin containing PFAS 'forever chemicals,' which are synthetic substances linked to various health issues including thyroid disease, fertility problems, and cancer. Traditional disposal methods like landfilling or incineration can lead to environmental contamination.
The company's technology targets the growing spent media market, valued at $1.3 billion as of 2024. The AirSCWO system offers a solution that aligns with recent EPA regulatory requirements for drinking water and CERCLA, focusing on eliminating PFAS and other contaminants while producing safe dischargeable water streams, mineral effluent, vent gas, and recoverable heat energy.
374Water Inc. (NASDAQ:SCWO) provided a business update following the EPA's draft risk assessment on PFAS chemicals in biosolids. The EPA's assessment highlights risks associated with land-applied sludge contaminated with PFOA/PFOS, naming SCWO as a key destruction technology.
The company's AirSCWO technology is positioned as the only commercial-scale, continuous flow solution available for PFAS destruction. The EPA suggests that sludge containing as low as 1 ppb of PFAS when land applied may pose human health risks exceeding acceptable thresholds.
374Water is developing AirSCWO Systems with various destruction capacities, ranging from 1 metric ton/day (suitable for 0.25 to 0.5 MGD WW facilities) up to 100 metric ton/day (for 20 to 40 MGD WW facilities). The company reports a municipal, federal, and industrial backlog and pipeline of $1.8 billion for their organic waste destruction technology, expected to drive growth in 2025.
