As EPA PFAS Drinking Water Deadlines Approach, 374Water Positions Air-SCWO to Permanently Destroy Spent GAC and Ion Exchange Media
374Water (NASDAQ: SCWO) positioned its AirSCWO technology and Waste Destruction Services to capture demand for permanently destroying PFAS-laden spent GAC and ion exchange media as EPA drinking water deadlines approach. EPA's nationwide monitoring data released in August 2026 show more than 10% of ~10,000 public water systems with complete results exceed at least one PFAS MCL, and AWWA estimates annual compliance costs of $3.8B-$5.5B -- every installed treatment system generates recurring spent media.
