MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025076 A) filed by Chilakapati Anil Kumar, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, on March 3, for 'climate resilient twin cylinder toilet system.'
Inventor(s) include Tadiboina Samantha Kumar; Pidaparthi Lakshmi Prasanna; and Prof. Dr Ramesh Srikonda.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a climate-resilient twin-cylinder toilet system designed to integrate with raised plinth, cellars, stilts, basements and underground structures in residential and commercial buildings. The system comprises a water closet (101) positioned at a finished floor level (105), connected to a Y-junction valve assembly (102, 103a, 103b) that diverts excreta into one of two removable cylindrical waste collectors (104a, 104b) located at ground level beneath the raised plinth. A track-and-trolley system (106) facilitates the manual removal and replacement of filled waste collectors via a ramp (114) and access door (116), ensuring easy maintenance without mechanical assistance. The system further includes a blackwater drain pipe (108) for liquid separation, an exhaust pipe (109) for odor control, and a climate-resilient enclosure with precast walls (111, 112), a floor slab (110), and a compound wall (115) to prevent environmental damage. This invention represents a significant advancement in sanitation technology, ensuring hygienic, sustainable, and user-friendly toilet solutions for diverse environments. Further, this invention comprises several essential components that work together to provide a cost-effective, space-saving, dampness-preventing, energy-efficient, hygienic transport of excrements and climate-resilient sanitation solution that minimizes land use, maintenance complexity, and environmental impact suitable solutions for urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, particularly in space-constrained and climate-sensitive regions."
