374Water Inc. utilizes proprietary AirSCWO technology to mineralize both non-hazardous and hazardous organic waste streams, converting them into safe, reclaimable minerals and dischargeable water. This process effectively addresses the challenges of traditional waste disposal and the presence of PFAS contaminants, promoting resource recovery and environmental safety.

Problem
Traditional methods of managing and disposing of organic waste streams, including hazardous materials and emerging contaminants like PFAS, often pose environmental risks and fail to recover valuable resources. These methods can be costly, inefficient, and may not meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
Solution
374Water offers the AirSCWO (supercritical water oxidation) system, a technology designed to destroy and mineralize both non-hazardous and hazardous organic waste. The AirSCWO process converts waste streams into safe, dischargeable water, mineral effluent, and vent gas, while also enabling the recovery of thermal energy. This closed-loop system addresses a wide range of waste streams, including municipal biosolids, landfill leachate, AFFF firefighting foam, and industrial wastes, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional disposal methods. 374Water provides both capital sales of AirSCWO systems and Destruction-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings.
Target Audience
374Water serves municipal, federal, and industrial clients seeking solutions for organic waste destruction, including wastewater facilities, government entities managing contaminated sites, and industries generating organic waste streams.
