H2Plus, a startup engineering breakthrough technology that destroys PFAS “forever chemicals” in water at scale.
As digital transformation accelerates across industries, water treatment has been left behind. Tech advancements in manufacturing, consumer goods, and aerospace have contributed to the proliferation of PFAS—highly persistent chemicals now contaminating water supplies worldwide. They’ve been tied to various health issues, but little progress has been made on holding companies accountable. This is similar to how it took the country a while to let the public know the dangers of tobacco.
Traditional filtration technologies don’t eliminate PFAS, they just capture it, creating expensive disposal issues and long-term liability. With EPA standards tightening and lawsuits escalating, this has become a regulatory and financial crisis.
H2Plus developed a patented process that uses restructured water molecules to generate hydrated electrons, breaking the ultra-strong carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS and destroying them on contact. In recent pilot studies, H2Plus achieved 99%+ PFAS destruction across long- and short-chain compounds, delivering results at less than half the cost of competing technologies. This is the first drop-in, scalable solution for municipalities and industries alike.
