Investment Highlights
374Water is commercializing a patented technology, AirSCWO, that permanently destroys PFAS and other hazardous organic waste rather than transferring it elsewhere, at destruction efficiency the company reports up to and exceeding 99.99 percent. It operates a commercial waste-destruction hub at the City of Orlando's Iron Bridge facility and is building recurring, infrastructure-based revenue through its Waste Destruction Services model. The technology carries independent federal validation, with a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report measuring 99.9993 percent total PFAS destruction, alongside a teaming agreement with the global environmental consultancy Arcadis to pursue federal and commercial contracts. A growing municipal pipeline spans St. Cloud, Minnesota; Olathe, Kansas; and the Orange County Sanitation District in California. The company is targeting three large markets, municipal, federal, and industrial, all moving toward destruction-based solutions under expanding PFAS regulation.
How AirSCWO Destroys PFAS and Organic Waste
374Water's patented AirSCWO systems use supercritical water oxidation, water held above 374 degrees Celsius and 221 bar and mixed with air, to break down PFAS and other organic waste at the molecular level. The continuous-flow process reports destruction efficiency up to and exceeding 99.99 percent, yielding safe, reusable water, minerals, and recoverable heat energy, with no residual waste stream to dispose of.
Commercial Operations and Recurring Revenue
At the City of Orlando's Iron Bridge facility, 374Water operates a Waste Destruction Services hub that doubles as its manufacturing and reference site, destroying PFAS-laden streams like spent carbon, resin, and firefighting foam. Two models drive recurring revenue: Waste Destruction Services, where customers pay to destroy waste at 374Water hubs, and Integrated Destruction Operations, where the company deploys and runs systems on-site.
Federal Validation and DoD Demand
An independent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report measured total PFAS destruction of 99.9993 percent across 42 compounds at the Orlando facility, with treated water meeting EPA limits for all regulated PFAS. Arcadis, a global environmental consultancy, coauthored the report, and the two have signed a teaming agreement to pursue federal and commercial PFAS contracts, building on a Department of Defense demonstration.
A Growing Municipal Deployment Pipeline
374Water is scaling AirSCWO with pioneering municipal customers. In St. Cloud, Minnesota, a $600,000 contract with Barr Engineering Co. is running the company's mobile system through a multi-phase field campaign that supports the state's evaluation of AirSCWO for PFAS-laden wastes. The company has also signed to place a system in Olathe, Kansas, and is preparing to deploy with California's Orange County Sanitation District.
Large and Fast-Growing Addressable Markets
374Water is targeting three large markets moving toward destruction-based solutions. In its April 2026 investor presentation, the company sizes municipal wastewater at $347 billion in 2025 growing to $536 billion by 2030, the federal market at more than $15 billion a year, and industrial at $128 billion growing to $182 billion. Expanding PFAS liabilities and tightening regulation drive demand across all three.
An Experienced Leadership Team
374Water is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel (Danny) Bogar, who brings more than 20 years of executive leadership, alongside Chief Operations Officer Brad Meyers, Chief Technology Officer Raj Melkote, and Interim Chief Financial Officer Adrienne Anderson. The board includes co-founder Marc Deshusses, Ph.D., a Duke University professor in biofiltration and waste-to-energy technologies, with directors experienced across environmental services and capital markets.
Digging Deeper
374Water, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO, FRA: 8LL) is a leading cleantech and environmental services company deploying supercritical water oxidation technology for the destruction of PFAS and other organic waste streams. Their proprietary AirSCWO systems break down hazardous and non-hazardous organic wastes at the molecular level, with destruction efficiency reported up to and exceeding 99.99%, and the residuals are safe and reusable water, minerals and heat energy. The technology was originally developed at Duke University, and 374Water has further developed and commercialized AirSCWO into an industrial equipment and service technology, carrying it from the laboratory into the field at sites across the United States. Its commercial waste destruction services hub is located in Orlando, Florida.
374Water’s AirSCWO technology is modular, scalable and customizable to a customer's particular scale and destruction needs, and it is built to work alongside current infrastructure. That flexibility allows the customers to either send waste to a 374Water Waste Destruction Services (“WDS”) facility or have systems deployed and operated on site. 374Water is entering massive and growing markets, where liabilities surrounding PFAS, regulatory pressure and shrinking disposal alternatives drive demand for the destruction of organic wet wastes.
PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are synthetic compounds known as forever chemicals, so named because the carbon and fluorine bonds that make them useful also make them resistant to breaking down in the environment. (See Slide 3: Corporate Overview)
Commercial progress through the first half of 2026 came from commercial federal and State destruction contracts. Waste destruction services is operational at Company’s Orlando Facility, the system built for Orange County Sanitation District (“OC San”) in Fountain Valley, California completed factory acceptance testing during the second quarter, and a deployment to Olathe, Kansas is planned for 2027. The company completed a Department of Defense project in Detroit, Michigan with Arcadis and Clean Earth, earning a Success Memo from the Defense Innovation Unit, a sole source contracting mechanism for the entirety of the US Military, and began processing waste destruction volumes that included the first phase of firefighting foam from the State of North Carolina. Daniel “Danny” Bogar was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer in March 2026, having been integral in the initial and subsequent fundraising for the company and previously led corporate development efforts. (See Slide 4: Operations Highlights and Business Updates)
Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 reached $2.26 million against $595,000 in the same quarter of 2025, and revenue for the first half reached $2.81 million against $1.14 million a year earlier. The largest contribution came from equipment revenue on the Orange County Sanitation District contract, and the remaining amounts under that contract will be billed as the system is delivered and operated.
The tabs that follow cover how AirSCWO works, the markets driving demand for destruction, the company's approach to its federal and municipal customers, the system classes and commercial models built to serve them, and the leadership team.
Supercritical water oxidation (“SCWO”) is an oxidation reaction powered by water heated above 374 degrees Celsius and held above 221 bar of pressure, mixed with air. Water in that state dissolves organic material including oils and chemicals. The reaction that follows is rapid and thorough, resulting in complete breakdown of the chemical bonds that form organic toxins.
AirSCWO harnesses that reaction to destroy organic hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. The continuous flow system takes in traditional waste streams such as sewage sludge and biosolids, the liquid that drains out of landfills, oily sludges, military wastes and organic industrial wastes, along with the emerging contaminants including PFAS, 6PPD-Q, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and microplastics. What comes out is safe dischargeable water, mineral solids, safe vent gas and recoverable heat energy. Waste that would otherwise last forever and threaten human and environmental health leaves the system as usable water and recoverable minerals.
The materials AirSCWO has already destroyed span all three of the markets 374Water serves, and in each case the results reached non detect or fell below US Environmental Protection Agency limits. Streams include sewage sludge and biosolids, landfill liquids, fire fighting foam (“AFFF”) and PFAS-saturated granulated carbon and ion exchange resin used by drinking water utilities.
The demand for 374Water’s technology and services comes from a gap in the way organic and PFAS wastes are handled today. Since current technologies transform, transport or concentrate those wastes, the material itself is left intact and causes downstream contamination. An installation that separates PFAS from a water stream still holds the PFAS, now concentrated into a smaller volume, and the liability attached to it travels forward until someone destroys it. Each market and application 374Water serves arrives at that same point from a different direction, and each is large enough on its own to support the deployment plans the company has laid out.
The municipal market is sized at $347 billion in 2025 and $536 billion by 2030, covering biosolids that carry PFAS, landfill liquids, drinking water treatment where filter media captures PFAS, and firefighting foam. The federal market is put at more than $15 billion annually, covering PFAS concentrates, biosolids, petroleum, oil and lubricants, and special projects that include radiological organics and special operations work. The industrial market is sized at $128 billion in 2025 and $182 billion by 2030. These figures draw on the US Environmental Protection Agency, the American Water Works Association, Statista, Fortune Business Insights, Transparency Market Research and Mordor Intelligence, and they exclude government markets outside the United States, including the United Kingdom, the European Union and Japan.
374Water's federal strategy involves strategic partners with strong contracting relationships, and technology validation that puts AirSCWO performance in front of federal contractors. The US Army Corps of Engineers has identified 564 sites requiring PFAS remediation, and Congress appropriated $400 million for cleanup at one of them, Pease Air National Guard Base. Demand across the rest of the federal landscape reaches far past the Corps, since forward operating bases across the Indo-Pacific require thousands of tons of destruction capacity for biosolids, new Department of Defense construction requires PFAS remediation, and the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy each present follow-on opportunities as the company scales.
Two developments in 2026 gave that federal case independent support, the first of them a technical report published by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (“ERDC”). The center evaluated AirSCWO at the Orlando facility and documented total PFAS destruction and removal efficiency of 99.9993% across 42 PFAS compounds, with individual destruction rates ranging from 99.994% to 100%. Treated water met federal maximum contaminant levels for all regulated PFAS compounds, and Arcadis, the global environmental consultancy, co-authored the report and independently validated the results.
The second development carried the Arcadis relationship from technical validation into commercial pursuit, when the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding in July 2026 to jointly pursue federal and commercial contracts for destroying PFAS contaminated waste streams including firefighting foam. Arcadis is expected to lead client engagement, market development and regulatory support and to serve as prime contractor where appropriate, and 374Water provides its AirSCWO technology, waste destruction services, and the deployment and operation of treatment systems. The Department of Defense demonstration the team completed opens a contracting pathway that lets defense agencies work with 374Water and Arcadis outside standard federal acquisition rules, with Orlando serving as the commercial reference site for the regional treatment hub model.
Municipal utilities come to AirSCWO with rising operational complexity and a mandate to protect human and environmental health. 374Water has partnered with three pioneering municipal wastewater districts to prove and scale the technology. The solution has been proven, and the scale is enormous. The City of Orlando treats 40 million gallons per day and produces 267 tons of sludge daily, a volume that would require more than thirty times the AirSCWO capacity now installed at Iron Bridge. Orange County Sanitation District processes 124 million gallons per day and creates 827 tons of biosolids, trucking more than 150 loads of sludge offsite each week, and its first system will treat less than one percent of that volume. Olathe, Kansas will receive a system to treat PFAS-laden biosolids at a plant that processes 11 million gallons per day and would require ten additional systems to handle its whole stream.
Demand from other materials across the United States tells the same story from the supply side. Over a ten-year outlook, 374Water puts spent ion exchange resin at 25,000 cubic meters, firefighting foam at 45,000, granular activated carbon at 320,000, the concentrated liquid left behind by membrane treatment at 800,000 and sludge at 400,000,000, and every one of those streams other than firefighting foam represents on-going and recurring supply. Drinking water providers generate PFAS-laden filter media that requires destruction, so those volumes replenish for as long as utilities keep filtering.
Industrial customers face the same mounting liabilities, and 374Water treats this vertical as the largest future growth sector for the technology. Oil and gas producers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and chemical companies hold eligible waste streams in volume and are already seeking destruction technologies, and 374Water has treated challenging streams from each of those sectors with impressive technical results. As the company's ability to treat larger volumes grows and marginal costs come down, it expects those sectors to absorb substantial capacity.
The AirSCWO platform is designed to address a wide range of applications in both technical ability and commercial scale, with each system’s gallon-per-hour rating describing the concentrated waste it destroys and the daily figure describing the plant that generates it. The mobile system is built for rapid deployment and on-site destruction, handling roughly 10 gallons per hour and matched to a wastewater facility treating a quarter to half a million gallons per day, which suits site cleanups and emergency response. The modular system can be permanent or mobile, and scales from roughly 100 gallons per hour to 500, and adds capacity in increments matched to each additional million gallons per day of plant flow. The largest class is a permanent installation at regional facilities running above 2,000 gallons per hour, sized for plants treating 20 to 40 million gallons per day and beyond, where centralized operations allow for economies of scale.
374Water deploys and operates systems sized to the demand and works with the site to integrate them into existing operations. Where volumes are smaller, more sensitive or spread across many generators, customers send waste to a 374Water hub, and the company receives, stores and destroys it under a waste destruction services agreement that returns certificates of destruction with full analysis.
Orlando is the Waste Destruction Services hub for 374Water. The site began with a March 2024 contract for a full-scale demonstration at the Iron Bridge Regional Water Reclamation Facility, where a 90-day biosolids destruction campaign achieved greater than 99.95 % PFAS destruction. 374Water licensed space at the facility in January 2026, added 21,639 square feet by amendment in April, and set out a full commercial-scale buildout spanning more than 35,000 square feet across five buildings, with 88,000 gallons of onsite tank storage and an upgraded system for higher throughput.
Manufacturing and assembly operations are established on site to support deployment and servicing. At initial scale the WDS facility is expected to generate between $3 million and $5 million in annual revenue, and 374Water is negotiating with strategic partners to more than double installed destruction capacity, which the company believes would position the site as a major regional hub for permanent organic waste destruction.
The mobile configuration is under its most demanding public test in Minnesota, where a $600,000 waste destruction contract with the City of St. Cloud, in partnership with Barr Engineering Co., forms part of the State's evaluation of AirSCWO for destroying PFAS-laden wastes. The campaign works through progressively more demanding waste streams in a series of phases, and multiple types of biosolids have been processed to date, including treated biosolids at solids concentrations of up to 12 %. The field team has since moved to untreated sludge similar to the material processed at Orlando, included to showcase the 97 % solids reduction and PFAS reduction of up to 99.99 % seen in earlier campaigns. A successful pilot could generate multiple millions of dollars in revenue including recurring annual revenue from ongoing operations, and each mobile unit has the potential to generate between $500,000 and $1.5 million in annual revenue depending on deployment cadence, waste stream composition and contract structure.
The two contracted municipal systems advanced on separate tracks through the first half of 2026. The Orange County Sanitation District system passed its factory acceptance test at the end of the second quarter, and delivery, commissioning and system operations are anticipated to begin in the last quarter of 2026 and continue through the first half of 2027. In Olathe, Kansas the company holds a $4,880,000 firm fixed price purchase order from Garney Companies for the Cedar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Phase II project, covering design, fabrication, delivery, installation and commissioning of an AirSCWO 6 unit along with pretreatment, dewatering and water treatment equipment, and carrying startup, training and warranty coverage that runs 24 months from acceptance.
