Problem
Current methods for analyzing soil pollutants often involve a limited number of samples, lengthy lab analysis times, and potential inaccuracies, leading to increased costs, project delays, and uncertainty in remediation efforts. The risk of overlooking pollutants due to imprecise sampling strategies further complicates the process.
Solution
Tellux offers a patented HyperLab technology that accelerates and improves soil analysis using hyperspectral imaging and artificial intelligence. The HyperLab system performs multi-parameter soil analysis on-site and in real-time, characterizing lithology and hydrocarbon concentrations with high-resolution imaging. Tellux's solution increases the accuracy and representativeness of soil diagnostics, reduces diagnostic errors, and accelerates study times, enabling better cost control and faster response times when pollution is discovered. The system couples chemical analysis with numerical analysis, providing results in approximately one minute.
Target Audience
Tellux serves decision-makers and stakeholders involved in major land projects facing challenges in rehabilitating polluted sites and soils, including industries, local authorities, real estate developers, environmental consulting firms, laboratories, and soil remediation companies.
