Key takeaway Hexivon said it destroys polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or “forever chemicals,” in water instead of just filtering them out.
Why this matters in The Dallas
The investment in Hexivon by Hillwood is a significant development for the City of Dallas, which like many municipalities in the Gulf region, faces risks from flooding and hurricane-related water contamination. As a city with its own government and police department, Dallas has a vested interest in innovative solutions to water quality issues. The presence of "forever chemicals" in water supplies is a pressing concern, and Hexivon's technology has the potential to make a tangible impact on the health and safety of Dallas residents. With the Dallas Independent School District serving the city, the potential benefits of clean water extend to the city's schools and families. As Hexivon moves forward with its technology, it will be worth watching how the company's solutions can be applied to address the specific water quality challenges facing the City of Dallas and the broader Dallas metro area.
