MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511122213 A) filed by Dr. Arif Khan; Mr. Sanjay Baburao Gadekar; Mr. Changdev Vitthalrao Mane; Dr. S. Rama; Dr. R. Vigneswaran; Dr. D. Priya Matharasi; and R Rajaprasanna, Kashmir, Jammu & Kashmir, on Dec. 4, 2025, for 'biofilter system for removal of vocs in industrial emissions.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Arif Khan; Mr. Sanjay Baburao Gadekar; Mr. Changdev Vitthalrao Mane; Dr. S. Rama; Dr. R. Vigneswaran; Dr. D. Priya Matharasi; and R Rajaprasanna.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an advanced biofilter system for the efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial emissions. The system integrates engineered high-porosity biofilm carrier media, optimized microbial consortia, uniform airflow distribution, and an intelligent environmental control module to ensure enhanced biodegradation of VOCs under variable industrial conditions. A network of sensors monitors VOC concentrations, temperature, humidity, pressure drop, and microbial activity, transmitting data to a microcontroller-based control unit that autonomously adjusts system parameters for optimal performance. The system further incorporates automated cleaning, nutrient delivery, and microbial reinoculation mechanisms to maintain long-term operational stability. Its modular and scalable design allows deployment across diverse industrial facilities, providing a sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for VOC abatement while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards."
