MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049149 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 17, for 'an iot-enabled automated algae bioreactor system for active carbon dioxide capture and urban emission reduction.'
Inventor(s) include Kruthika Paulraj; Abinaya S; Saran S; Aathikesavaa S; and Neha Prapti P.
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 an IoT-enabled automated algae bioreactor system for active carbon dioxide capture in indoor and urban environments. The system comprises a transparent algae bioreactor chamber containing microalgae, a sensing module configured to monitor carbon dioxide and environmental parameters, a control unit configured to autonomously regulate system operation, a gas diffusion unit, a circulation unit, and a light delivery unit. In operation, real-time sensing of carbon dioxide triggers activation of gas diffusion, circulation, and lighting to enhance photosynthetic absorption of carbon dioxide by the microalgae. System parameters are continuously regulated to maintain optimal operating conditions, and operational data is transmitted for remote monitoring. The invention provides a compact, low-cost, and fully automated carbon capture solution suitable for residential, commercial, and smart-city applications, offering improved efficiency, scalability, and continuous operation compared to conventional carbon reduction approaches."
