374Water’s Marc Deshusses provides unique insights on supercritical water oxidation and its ability to destroy PFAS. Marc also discusses his early efforts to harness the power of supercritical water oxidation, overcoming technological obstacles, and the path towards commercialization.



In this session, you’ll learn about:



What supercritical water oxidation isWhat supercritical water oxidation does (hint: it will not only remove stains from your laundry, it will eviscerate your laundry)How Marc applied for and received funding in 2013 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Reinvent the Toilet ChallengeThe history of technical challenges for supercritical water oxidation that blocked prior commercialization attemptsThe best applications for supercritical water oxidationThe undesirable compounds in biosolids that supercritical water oxidation treats Why landfill operators don’t like biosolids deposited in their landfillsThe outputs of supercritical water oxidation: clean water, waste heat and resource recovery (including phosphorous)How supercritical water oxidation treats and destroys PFAS and other emerging contaminantsWhy supercritical water oxidation is, in Marc’s view, the best option to treat and destroy PFAS
