ArianeGroup - our Supercritical Partner
We are extremely proud to be in a partnership with ArianeGroup – European aerospace & defence leader – in the fields of energetic wastes, chemical warfare agents, and PFAS pollution. Aquarden has provided our SuperOx® SCWO system for two of ArianeGroup’s French sites: the first industrial scale SuperOx® unit was operational in 2018 for destruction of hazardous energetic wastes, followed by a second unit in 2024 for PFAS destruction. In 2023 our SuperOx® was awarded the EUROPYRO award by the French Association of Pyrotechnics for the innovative and sustainable destruction of explosives.
Our partnership began in 2017 through ArianeGroup’s innovative remediation project ELIXIR™. The ELIXIR™ project focuses on clean, effective and sustainable remediation technologies for chemically challenging waste types within the fields of aerospace & defence.

“Even these ‘forever’ substances cannot resist the power of supercritical water” – ArianeGroup
As our Director, Zhuoyan Cai points out, our constructive partnership is based on professional teamwork to develop a highly effective and robust technology. Very few others have succeeded in making the SCWO process commercially available for hazardous wastes.
So, when ArianeGroup quotes on their site: “our suppliers are valued members of the family. We choose them to collaborate with us because they are the very best in their field…”, we certainly do feel honored for being chosen as the best in our field.
