Question 1

What is the difference between PFAS elimination and PFAS filtration?

Accepted Answer

PFAS filtration removes PFAS from water but concentrates the contamination into a filter medium or reject stream that still requires disposal. The PFAS molecules are relocated, not destroyed. PFAS elimination permanently breaks down the carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS molecules at the molecular level, destroying the compounds entirely. Hexivon's technology eliminates PFAS rather than moving it from one place to another, providing a permanent solution with no residual contamination to manage.

Question 2

Can Hexivon's technology help municipalities meet EPA PFAS drinking water standards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The EPA's 2024 final rule established maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for PFAS in public drinking water, including 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS. Hexivon's PFAS elimination technology helps municipal water utilities meet these standards by permanently destroying PFAS rather than creating concentrated waste streams that require further management.

Question 3

Why is PFAS called a forever chemical and why does that matter for treatment?

Accepted Answer

PFAS are called forever chemicals because the carbon-fluorine bonds in their molecular structure are extraordinarily resistant to degradation. Conventional filtration captures PFAS but cannot break these bonds, creating concentrated waste that remains hazardous. True elimination requires technology capable of overcoming the C-F bond's stability, which is Hexivon's specific focus.
