• Comment: Revive Environmental Technology does not appear to be the subject of significant coverage in these references. Instead all the coverage is of Battelle itself. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:22, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Revive Environmental Technology is a private environmental technology company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The company uses supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), operating systems branded as the PFAS Annihilator.^[1]

Revive was formed as a commercial venture between Battelle and Viking Global Investors to commercialize SCWO-based PFAS destruction technology that Battelle had developed through more than a decade of internally-funded research.^[2] Viking Global Investors provided initial funding to scale operations from pilot demonstrations to permitted commercial facilities.^[2] The company subsequently began operating PFAS Annihilator systems in Ohio and Michigan.^[3]

The company's primary technology uses supercritical water oxidation, a process in which water is heated above its critical point (374 °C and 22.1 MPa). Under these conditions, water enters a supercritical phase in which organic contaminants, including PFAS, become miscible with oxygen and undergo oxidation.^[4] The reaction products are carbon dioxide, water, fluoride ions, and inorganic salts.^[4]

Peer-reviewed studies have reported destruction and removal efficiencies (DREs) exceeding 99.99% across PFAS mixtures including aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), landfill leachate, and industrial rinse waters.^[4][5] The U.S. EPA's 2024 Interim Guidance on PFAS Destruction and Disposal identifies SCWO as a technology capable of PFAS destruction across aqueous and concentrate waste streams.^[6]

Revive has also developed a process called GAC Renew, designed to regenerate PFAS-laden granular activated carbon (GAC) used in water treatment. The process extracts adsorbed PFAS from carbon beds into a liquid concentrate, which is then treated using SCWO. The approach is intended as an alternative to conventional GAC management, which typically involves off-site thermal reactivation or disposal of spent carbon.^[1]

Revive has operated PFAS destruction projects through contracts with several state environmental agencies:

• Ohio – Partnered with the Ohio EPA on a statewide AFFF take-back program that collected over 13,000 gallons of foam from 130 fire departments across 54 counties.^[7][8]
• New Hampshire – Served as prime contractor for the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services AFFF Take-Back Program, collecting more than 12,000 gallons of foam from over 125 fire departments.^[9][10][11]
• North Carolina – Selected by the NC Collaboratory and State Fire Marshal for a statewide AFFF destruction program.^[12]
• New Jersey – Contracted by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to collect and process over 150,000 gallons of AFFF and AFFF rinsate.
• Michigan – Operates a commercial facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, treating landfill leachate.^[3]
• Federal – Participated in ESTCP, Air Force, and Navy demonstration projects evaluating SCWO at military installations.
