374Water Provides Update for Deployment of AirSCWO Technology at Orange County, California Sanitation District
374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) has provided an update on the deployment of its AirSCWO 6 System at Orange County Sanitation District Plant No. 1. The company has completed manufacturing of the system and is proceeding with Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) in July 2025, expected to last 30-60 days.
The project with OC San, which processes over 180 million gallons of wastewater daily serving 2.6 million people, aims to improve waste management practices. The deployment is expected to generate approximately $1.3 million in projected revenue by year-end. The system will be transported from Orlando, Florida to Fountain Valley, California, with installation planned for September 2025.
374Water engineers will manage the first six months of operations, conducting a Controlled Performance Study and training OC San staff. After the initial period, OC San will operate the system with 374Water's support for an additional six months. Following one year of operations, OC San will evaluate potential upgrade to the larger AirSCWO 30 system, capable of processing 30 wet tons of biosolids per day.

Insights
374Water advances its OC San project with completed AirSCWO system manufacturing and $1.3M revenue potential, despite supply chain delays.
374Water's press release reveals significant progress in their AirSCWO technology deployment for Orange County Sanitation District. The AirSCWO 6 system has now been fully manufactured and is entering Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), a critical milestone that validates system performance before deployment. This represents a concrete advancement despite acknowledged delays from temporary supply chain disruptions.
The technology being deployed offers a revolutionary approach to biosolids management. Currently, OC San transports over 525 wet tons of Class B biosolids daily to California and Arizona for agricultural reuse. The AirSCWO system could potentially eliminate this transportation requirement, significantly reducing logistical costs and environmental impact while providing more sustainable waste destruction.
The deployment timeline indicates system delivery to OC San's Plant No. 1 in September 2025, following the completion of FAT expected in July-August. These milestones correspond to approximately
What's particularly noteworthy is the operational structure: 374Water engineers will manage the first six months of operations while conducting a Controlled Performance Study and training OC San staff. The following six months will see OC San staff operating with 374Water support. This phased approach demonstrates a thoughtful implementation strategy designed to ensure operational success and knowledge transfer.
The press release also signals significant growth potential, as OC San has expressed interest in evaluating an upgrade to the larger AirSCWO 30 system after the initial operational period. This larger system would process up to 30 wet tons of biosolids daily, representing a substantial capacity increase that could translate to expanded revenue opportunities for 374Water beyond the current deployment.
AirSCWO 6 System Fully Manufactured and Undergoing Factory Acceptance Testing
DURHAM, N.C., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) (“374Water”) (the “Company”), a global leader in organic waste destruction technology for the municipal, federal, and industrial markets, today announced continued progress in development of its systems and is providing an updated timeline for the deployment of its AirSCWO 6 System to the Orange County Sanitation (“OC San”) District Plant No. 1.
To improve its waste management and resource recovery practices, OC San is partnering with 374Water to deploy the Company’s groundbreaking AirSCWO technology. OC San processes over 180 million gallons of wastewater daily, serving over 2.6 million people. Currently, over 525 wet tons of Class B biosolids produced by OC San are transported to sites in California and Arizona for agricultural reuse every day. The AirSCWO system offers an advanced approach to biosolids destruction which in the future could allow OC San to eliminate the need for offsite biosolids reuse.
This updated timeline follows 374Water’s further AirSCWO system ruggedization, system design, process improvements, and technology upgrades made during operations in Orlando, FL.
Project Plan for Orange County Sanitation
The AirSCWO 6 system deployment and payment schedule with OC San will follow the mutually agreed-upon timeline:
- System Manufacturing: The manufacturing of OC San’s AirSCWO 6 system was completed in June 2025, delayed by temporary supply chain disruptions.
- Factory Acceptance Test (“FAT”): The AirSCWO 6 will begin an internal FAT in July 2025, which is expected to be completed in 30-60 days. This process will include the customer FAT, and will ensure that the system meets all OC San performance specifications prior to deployment.
- Permits and other items: Received approval in June for the suggested permitting strategy and provisional consent to the proposed permitting timeline necessary to operate our system at OC San.
- System Delivery: Beginning mobilization for transporting the AirSCWO 6 system from our manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, to OC San’s Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley, California. The final system will then be installed with previously staged systems and components in September 2025.
- Site Integration & Commissioning: Immediately following mobilization, the AirSCWO 6 system will be commissioned on-site at OC San District Plant No. 1.
These combined milestones correspond to approximately
“We are incredibly proud to have begun mobilizing the AirSCWO 6 for transport to OC San,” said Chris Gannon, President and CEO of 374Water. “The system will undergo FAT to ensure its performance is verified against specifications, confirms compliance, and reduces on-site commissioning time. Despite some delays in manufacturing due to temporary supply chain disruptions, we are executing on our milestones.”
“We are encouraged by OC San’s expressed interest in evaluating upgrading to larger scale units upon completion of the operational period of the AirSCWO 6. We continue to work closely with the team at OC San and look forward to additional milestone updates in the months to come,” concluded Gannon.
Operational Plan and Future Expansion
This AirSCWO 6 system deployment to OC San will be fully staffed with 374Water engineers and operators, who will manage the first six months of system operations. During this period, the Company will complete a Controlled Performance Study designed to evaluate the technical and operational parameters of the AirSCWO 6 system under critical commercial operating conditions. The 374Water team will also train OC San staff to operate the AirSCWO 6 system. Following this initial period, OC San staff will take over operation of the system, supported by 374Water engineers for an additional six months. Upon one year of operations, OC San will evaluate results to determine the potential for upgrading to the larger AirSCWO 30 system, which will be designed to process up to 30 wet tons of biosolids per day. This collaboration underscores OC San's commitment to innovative and sustainable resource practices, setting the stage for broader adoption of advanced waste destruction technologies in the future.
