MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049226 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 17, for 'iot enabled automated composting pit system and method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. R Malathy; Dr. S. Kalaiselvi; Dr. S. R. R Senthil Kumar; Mrs. G. K. Monica Nandhini; and Dr. R. Priyadharshini.
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: "An automated composting pit system and method for aerobic processing of biodegradable waste are disclosed. The system comprises a fixed, static composting pit integrated with environmental sensing modules for detecting compost temperature, moisture content, oxygen concentration, and gaseous emissions. A processing and decision module locally evaluates sensed parameters against composting criteria and autonomously actuates environmental regulation modules configured to introduce air, deliver moisture, and evacuate gases within the composting pit. The sensing, evaluation, and regulation operations are performed as a continuous closed-loop process through direct physical interaction between system components, without manual intervention or remote command dependency. The disclosed pit-based architecture maintains aerobic composting conditions, reduces anaerobic gas formation, minimizes odor generation, and accelerates compost stabilization relative to manually operated composting pits. The system is adapted for in-ground or semi-ground installation and operates without mechanical agitation or material transfer mechanisms."
