From Michigan To California, H2Plus Expands PFAS Destruction Breakthroughs Nationwide

Grand Junction, CO – H2Plus, a Colorado-based water technology company, is gaining national momentum with successful PFAS destruction projects in Michigan, Tennessee, and California. Backed by new funding and growing demand, the company is expanding deployment of its patented mobile treatment units in communities and industries seeking permanent solutions to the “forever chemicals” crisis.

The Problem With Current Filtration Methods
Across the U.S., outdated filtration methods are falling short. Most systems—like granular activated carbon (GAC) or reverse osmosis—merely trap PFAS, creating concentrated waste that’s expensive to manage and often ends up back in the environment. The consequences are growing.

Biosolids processors across the country are facing shutdowns as PFAS-laden material spreads through farmland, contaminating crops, groundwater, and livestock. It’s a stark reminder of what happens when contaminants are merely captured, not destroyed at the source.

Shifting From Filtration to Destruction
That’s where destruction comes in. Unlike filtration, the H2Plus system breaks PFAS molecules apart at the molecular level using hydrated electrons. These electrons target and destroy the carbon-fluorine bonds the strongest in organic chemistry—leaving behind only benign byproducts like water, carbon dioxide, and calcium fluoride. The result is true elimination, not displacement.

The H2Plus technology is versatile and simple to deploy. It requires no pre-treatment or post-treatment, and it functions across water types including potable, well, reverse osmosis reject, leachate, and even foamate—the concentrated byproduct of other methods that most systems can’t handle.

On-site Pilot Results
Recent on-site pilots across eastern Michigan, Bakersfield, Camp Pendleton, and Nashville have proven H2Plus’s capabilities in real-world conditions, including landfill leachate and high-TDS wastewater. In one Michigan landfill trial, PFOA levels were reduced from 1,885 ng/L to 2.9 ng/L, and PFOS from 1,214.9 ng/L to 37.3 ng/L. These outcomes were verified by third-party labs, confirming the system’s effectiveness on both long- and short-chain compounds.

“We’ve seen strong results in multiple states, from military sites to landfills,” said one of the engineers overseeing the pilots. “Being able to destroy PFAS without requiring extra filtration or treatment steps changes what’s possible for water operators on tight budgets and timelines.”

Across its pilots, H2Plus has demonstrated over 99 percent average PFAS reduction with a cost less than half the price of many current alternatives. With pressure mounting from new EPA standards and increased litigation, the company is seeing surging interest from municipalities, airports, industrial sites, and military installations.

“Our successful trial in Michigan marked a turning point,” said Scott Canino, Chief Operating Officer of H2Plus. “It proves that affordable, scalable PFAS destruction isn’t just possible, it’s happening”.
