Traditional water treatment methods, including carbon filters and reverse osmosis, merely sequester PFAS, creating hazardous waste that requires disposal. Hexivon’s proprietary system shifts the paradigm by breaking down these "forever chemicals" at the molecular level on-site. The technology functions at ambient temperatures and leaves no harmful byproduct behind, a critical advantage for municipalities facing mounting federal regulatory pressure.
Hillwood Backs Dallas Startup to Eradicate PFAS Chemicals
A 2025 pilot project in Cary, North Carolina, saw PFAS levels drop from 40 parts per trillion to non-detectable, marking a breakthrough in water treatment. Now, Dallas-based Hexivon has secured a strategic investment from Hillwood to scale this destruction technology and address the national crisis of persistent environmental contaminants.
Ross Perot, Jr., chairman of Hillwood, cited the company’s disruptive approach as the primary driver for the partnership. The capital injection arrives as demand for remediation surges across the United States. In Texas alone, 29 public water systems in the Dallas-Fort Worth area currently exceed EPA standards for PFAS. The state's House Bill 500 has allocated over $1 billion for water infrastructure, and Hexivon is positioning itself to assist local utilities in navigating the grant application process before the July 30 deadline. With Hillwood’s extensive background in large-scale infrastructure, the collaboration aims to fast-track commercial deployment for government and industrial clients nationwide.
