MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611008758 A) filed by Central University Of Jammu, Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir, on Jan. 28, for 'an integrated single-chamber bioreactor device for wastewater treatment.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Anjali Dhar; and Behera, Bibhudendu.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a single-chamber bioreactor device for treating industrial wastewater containing heavy metals, organic pollutants, and microplastics. The device includes a single reaction chamber having multiple distinct treatment zones including an anaerobic zone, an aerobic zone, and a polishing zone. The device further includes microbial consortia configured for biodegradation of heavy metals, organic pollutants, and microplastics, and a membrane positioned between the aerobic zone and the anaerobic zone for controlled separation and transfer of treated wastewater. A microbial electrochemical system is integrated within the single reaction chamber for electrokinetic enhancement and bioelectricity generation. The device also includes physical treatment components for primary treatment of the industrial wastewater, chemical treatment components for pollutant degradation, AI-based biosensors for real-time monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen, microbial activity, and pollutant concentrations, and automated control systems for optimizing treatment parameters."
