The
Science

PFAS has a carbon-fluorine bond — one of the strongest in chemistry. It doesn't break down naturally. It doesn't respond to conventional treatment. Hexivon was built around one mission: break that bond permanently.

Understanding the Problem

What Are PFAS — and Why Can't You Get Rid of Them?

PFAS are over 12,000 synthetic chemicals engineered to be water-resistant, grease-resistant, and heat-stable since the 1940s. That engineering is exactly what makes them impossible to destroy through conventional means.

The carbon-fluorine bond that makes PFAS useful is also what makes them accumulate in water, soil, wildlife, and the human body indefinitely. They don't break down in decades — or centuries.

PFAS are now found in the blood of over 97% of humans worldwide. Not at-risk populations. Everyone.

The 3-Stage Process — Deep Dive

How Hexivon
Ends the Cycle

01
Stage One
Collection

Modular infrastructure intercepts PFAS-contaminated water at any continuous flow source — municipal intake lines, industrial discharge, or active remediation sites. Deploys in months, integrates with existing systems, minimal disruption.

Flow rates1,000 – 150,000,000+ GPD
DeploymentMonths, not years
IntegrationExisting infrastructure compatible
Collection
Captures PFAS from any continuous flow source at any scale

Stage Two
Water Stripping

Advanced foam fractionation strips PFAS from continuous water flow. The contaminated concentrate is isolated — 1 million gallons condensed to just 1 gallon. Clean water flows on. No reject stream. No downstream contamination.

Concentration ratioUp to 1,000,000:1
PFAS typesLong-chain and short-chain
Reject waterNone — clean water flows through
1M Gallons → 1 Gallon
PFAS concentrated for destruction. Clean water flows on.

Stage Three
Mineralization

Photocatalysis with proprietary materials and UV energy breaks the carbon-fluorine bond — one of the strongest in chemistry. PFAS molecules become harmless inorganic mineral components. Permanently. No intermediate compounds. No toxic byproducts.

PressureAmbient — no pressurization
