Porous Material Diagnostics at the Point of Decision.
RapidX brings AI-enabled electrochemical testing out of the laboratory and directly to environmental, utility, and construction operators. By measuring transient potential over time, BELD assesses critical porous material structures—such as Granular Activated Carbon and Geopolymer Cement—on-site in under five minutes.
Redefining Material Diagnostics
How BELD's transient voltage over time sensing eliminates traditional laboratory bottlenecks and replaces manual testing with direct porosity analysis.
The Laboratory Bottleneck
- 24 to 72 Hour Latency: Critical structural and environmental decisions wait while physical core samples are shipped to remote lab facilities.
- Complex Chemical Reagents: Dependent on hazardous chemical buffers, organic extractions, and slow manual preparation steps.
- High Cost per Sample: Expensive laboratory micro-imaging and gas adsorption pricing limits test frequency, leaving major quality blindspots.
- Delayed Material Quality Action: Lag in data return leads to late detection of geopolymer hydration failures or saturated GAC water filters.
The BELD Point-of-Decision Platform
- Sensing Voltage over Time: Measures exact electrochemical potential shifts over time to instantly map porosity ratios.
- Reagent-Free Operation: Completely clean, direct, and non-destructive material sweeps with zero chemical waste.
- GAC Pore Saturation Profiling: Evaluates microporous degradation as organic compounds fill active filtration pores.
- Geopolymer Cement Integrity: Verifies correct capillary pore structure and density during physical curing windows.
