374Water tech update: PFAS and biosolids destroyed to undetectable levels

374Water Inc president and CEO Chris Gannon talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a major development in the wastewater industry: the company’s AirSCWO technology is now destroying PFAS and biosolids to non-detectable levels. This marks a significant shift in how wastewater facilities can deal with persistent chemical contaminants known as "forever chemicals". Gannon explained that traditional methods such as land application or landfill disposal risk spreading PFAS into soils, water, and food systems. In contrast, 374Water’s AirSCWO solution offers complete destruction of these harmful substances. "What we're able to do is completely destroy the biosolids and that PFAS," he said, eliminating the need for further disposal. The technology is currently in operation at a facility in Orlando, with a new plant launching soon in Orange County. The company is also in negotiations with additional municipalities, and gaining interest from federal and industrial sectors. Gannon emphasized the growing demand for waste destruction solutions across multiple markets as global regulations around PFOS tighten. The company is initially focused on North America, but plans to expand internationally while scaling its processing capabilities to serve larger facilities.
