374Water Announces Publication of "Destruction of PFAS-Laden Ion Exchange Resin using Supercritical Water Oxidation" White Paper
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) ha pubblicato un documento tecnico che dimostra l'efficacia del loro sistema AirSCWO nella distruzione della resina a scambio ionico contaminata da PFAS. Il sistema ha raggiunto costantemente >99,9% di eliminazione totale dei PFAS sia in prove di banco che in esperimenti su campo a scala commerciale.
Il documento affronta la questione cruciale dello smaltimento della resina AIX (scambio anionico) utilizzata, contenente PFAS, le 'sostanze chimiche per sempre', che sono sostanze sintetiche collegate a vari problemi di salute, inclusi malattie della tiroide, problemi di fertilità e cancro. I metodi tradizionali di smaltimento, come le discariche o l'incenerimento, possono portare a contaminazioni ambientali.
La tecnologia dell'azienda mira al crescente mercato dei media esausti, valutato 1,3 miliardi di dollari nel 2024. Il sistema AirSCWO offre una soluzione che si allinea con i recenti requisiti normativi dell'EPA per l'acqua potabile e il CERCLA, concentrandosi sull'eliminazione dei PFAS e di altri contaminanti, producendo al contempo flussi d'acqua sicuri da scaricare, effluente minerale, gas di ventilazione e energia termica recuperabile.

Insights
The publication of this white paper represents a significant milestone for 374Water, validating their AirSCWO technology's effectiveness in addressing one of environmental remediation's most challenging problems. The >99.9% PFAS elimination rate achieved in both laboratory and commercial settings positions the company favorably in the
The timing is particularly strategic given the EPA's recent regulatory actions on PFAS in drinking water and CERCLA designation. These regulations effectively create a forced adoption market, as industries must now find compliant disposal methods for PFAS-contaminated materials. Traditional methods like landfilling and incineration are becoming increasingly scrutinized due to their environmental risks, creating a substantial market opportunity for 374Water's superior technology.
The technology's key differentiators include:
- Complete destruction rather than containment of PFAS
- Rapid processing (matter of seconds)
- Multiple valuable outputs (clean water, mineral effluent, recoverable heat energy)
- Scalability from bench to commercial applications
The addressable market extends beyond just ion exchange resins to potentially include:
- Direct PFAS-contaminated water treatment
- Industrial waste processing
- Municipal biosolids treatment
- Military base remediation
This technical validation could accelerate market adoption and revenue growth, particularly as environmental regulations tighten globally. The company's ability to consistently achieve such high elimination rates at commercial scale suggests strong operational execution and potential for widespread implementation across multiple industries.
Highlights AirSCWO System's Consistent Ability to Remove >
DURHAM, NC / ACCESS Newswire / January 23, 2025 / 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ:SCWO) ("374Water") (the "Company"), a global leader in organic waste destruction technology for the municipal, federal, and industrial markets, today announced the publication of their new white paper, "Destruction of PFAS-Laden Ion Exchange Resin using Supercritical Water Oxidation", demonstrating the ability of its supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) system (AirSCWO) to destroy spent anion IX (AIX) resin laden with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) "Forever Chemicals".
The paper provides an overview of the use of Ion exchange (IX) resins that are used widely across various industries due to their proven performance in removing nuisance contaminants that impact product quality and safe effluent discharge. However, once the resin is spent (i.e. saturated), effective disposal methods must be used to prevent the release of concentrated hazardous contaminants to the environment.
Of particular concern is the disposal of spent anion IX (AIX) resin laden with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of synthetic chemicals that are known as "forever chemicals" because they do not break down in the environment and have been linked to a variety of health problems like thyroid disease, hormonal and fertility problems, high cholesterol and cancer. PFAS can be found in a variety of industries and products including firefighting foams, food packaging, cleaning products, and paints. The current status quo of landfilling or incinerating PFAS-laden spent AIX resin can lead to the leaching of PFAS into soil and groundwater systems and/or release of PFAS into the air. Recent Environmental Protection Agency regulatory requirements for drinking water and in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) are focused on eliminating existing and emerging contaminants including PFAS.
The white paper further provides a background on treating PFAS using Anion Exchange Resins and shows successful bench and commercial scale field trial results from running PFAS-laden spent AIX through 374Water's AirSCWO system. On both the lab-scale and commercial scale, the AirSCWO system consistently achieved >
