MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511126836 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 15, 2025, for 'smart kitchen wastewater recovery and utilization system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Nitish Kumar Sharma; Dr. Sandeep Salhotra; and Dr. Naveen Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a smart kitchen wastewater recovery and utilization system integrating IoT-enabled sensing, edge artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, and big data-driven behavioral profiling to provide adaptive, real-time greywater treatment at the household level. The system comprises an input port, pre-filtration chamber, multi-parameter sensor arrays, an edge AI controller, biological treatment unit, nano-filtration unit, and a smart valve selector for diverting treated water to non-potable reuse points. The edge AI controller analyzes real-time sensor data to assess contamination, optimize treatment cycles, detect anomalies, and predict maintenance requirements, while cloud-based analytics refine behavior models and generate personalized recommendations. Post-treatment sensors validate water quality, enabling automated recirculation or reuse. A mobile application provides live operational insights, alerts, and sustainability metrics. The invention enables autonomous, energy-efficient, and decentralized recovery of kitchen wastewater, enhancing household water conservation and improving filtration reliability through data-driven optimization and predictive maintenance."
