DURHAM, N.C., July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 374Water Inc., OTCQB ("PWVI"), a social impact, cleantech company located in Durham, North Carolina ("374Water"), and Merrell Bros, Fabrication, Inc. (a division of Merrell Bros. Inc. "MBF"), an Indiana-based biosolids company, have entered into a definitive manufacturing and service agreement resulting from the previously announced memorandum of understanding signed in April 2021.

Under the terms of the agreement, MBF will manufacture as well as service 374Water's AirSCWO NIX systems and installations throughout the US and Canada.

"We are excited to have finalized this important agreement. Since executing our MOU last April, the Merrell team has been working with our team providing value added services including customer site visits, project management and AirSCWO fabrication plans. Merrell's tremendous reputation in the biosolids management industry and North American footprint is clearly accelerating the adoption of 374Water's AirSCWO NIX systems" said Kobe Nagar, 374Water's CEO.

Merrell Bros co-founder and CFO, Terry Merrell added "We have always prided ourselves on applying the finest equipment and technology to service our broad base of clients - even if we have to build it!  We saw early on that supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) may fundamentally change the way waste management is deployed.  Simply said, this technology just makes toxic sludge turn to water!  Our commitment, investment and execution are part of our corporate culture to make the world itself a better place".

MBF is fabricating the first commercial units at its facility in Kokomo, IN. The AirSCWO systems will be compact and modular so they can be cost-effectively deployed and operated within the footprint of an existing plant or possibly onsite to treat waste at its source.
