374Water Inc (NASDAQ:SCWO, FRA:8LL) said on Thursday it has received a purchase order from Garney Construction tied to a municipal project in Olathe, Kansas, marking a commercial step in deploying its technology to destroy PFAS-contaminated biosolids.
The order triggers a $2.3 million invoice and payment to the North Carolina-based waste treatment technology company and advances the next phase of the project, which involves construction and integration work led by Garney Construction.
Garney, a contractor focused on water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, was selected to lead construction activities for the project on behalf of the City of Olathe.
The project will deploy 374Water’s AirSCWO technology, which the company says can safely and permanently destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contained in municipal biosolids.
“Receiving this Purchase Order from Garney Construction is a significant step forward — it signals that the Olathe project is fully in motion and that our technology is being put to work solving one of the most critical waste management challenges,” Sunny Viswanathan, vice president of solutions at 374Water, said in a statement.
374Water said the Olathe deployment reflects rising demand from municipalities seeking alternatives to conventional disposal methods such as land application, incineration, and landfill disposal for PFAS-contaminated biosolids.
The company said projects such as the Olathe initiative could help accelerate the adoption of its AirSCWO technology across municipal and industrial waste treatment markets.
