Company News
374Water has secured approval from the City of Orlando for a five-year licence to provide waste destruction services at the Iron Bridge Regional Water Reclamation Facility. The agreement includes options for two additional five-year extensions. The approval follows a successful demonstration of 374Water's AirSCWO technology, which achieved greater than 99.95% destruction of PFAS in biosolids and waste streams. With the system already deployed onsite, the company expects to reduce lead time between regulatory approval and commercial launch significantly. The partnership between 374Water and Orlando began in March 2024. The company plans to expand holding tank capacity and scale infrastructure to create recurring revenue streams. However, 374Water did not deliver its system to Orange County Sanitation District in 2025 as anticipated, with associated revenue now expected in 2026.
