374Water advances Phase 2 after $600,000 Minnesota pilot, targets $1.5M unit revenue
SCWO•374Water completed a four-week Phase 1 trial of its mobile AirSCWO system processing Class B biosolids under a $600,000 contract at St. Cloud’s recovery facility and reported performance matching previous campaigns. Phase 2 with Class A Lystek biosolids has started, supporting $500,000–$1.5 million annual revenue while expanding pipeline.
1. Phase 1 Pilot Completion
374Water completed a four-week Phase 1 campaign under a $600,000 Waste Destruction Services contract at the City of St. Cloud’s Nutrient, Energy, and Water Recovery Facility, processing Class B biosolids at solids concentrations up to 10% and reporting results in line with earlier AirSCWO trials.
2. Phase 2 Operations Underway
Phase 2 has commenced, focusing on treatment of Class A Lystek biosolids with steady operations and no major challenges during the first week of deployment, as part of the project scheduled through mid-September 2026.
3. Revenue Projections and Pipeline Growth
Each mobile AirSCWO unit is estimated to generate between $500,000 and $1.5 million in annual revenue depending on deployment frequency and waste stream characteristics, supporting the expansion of 374Water’s commercial pipeline and development of additional mobile projects.
4. Validation of Technology and Market Demand
The St. Cloud deployment is validating both the reliability of the AirSCWO technology and its commercial model, reinforcing growing market demand for onsite PFAS-containing waste destruction services alongside the company’s fixed-site offerings.
