MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050544 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College; and Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 21, for 'biodigestx: a nano-enhanced and iot integrated biosink system for domestic kitchen waste-to-biogas conversion.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. Dharanidharan; M Swetha; P Vishal; Suria Prakash; and P Arun Prasad.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a kitchen sink integrated anaerobic digestion system for converting biodegradable kitchen waste into biogas and utilizing the generated biogas for cooking applications. Kitchen waste is collected directly from a sink, separated into solid and liquid fractions, and subjected to size reduction to form a slurry. The slurry is anaerobically digested in an airtight digestion tank equipped with an agitation mechanism to produce biogas. The generated biogas is collected, purified to remove moisture and other contaminants, stored under controlled conditions, and supplied via a regulated delivery line to a cooking burner for domestic use. The digested residue is discharged as nutrient-rich organic manure. The invention provides a decentralized, compact, and hygienic waste-to-energy solution that reduces dependence on liquefied petroleum gas, minimizes manual handling of kitchen waste, and promotes sustainable household energy recovery."
