Inventor(s) include Dr. R. Kalaiyarasan; Dr. R. Vijayarani; A. Preetha; S. Mohanram; Dr. C. A. Sathiyamoorthy; K. Madhavan; and S. Sivakavi.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention relates to the detection of clogs in sewage pipes using loT. It typically includes an ultrasonic sensor (1). a float sensor (2), a microcontroller (3), a GPS module (4), a GSM module (5). a gas sensor (6), a rechargeable battery & power management (7), a waterproof enclosure (8), an loT cloud platform (9), and a mobile application (10). The loT-based sewage clog detection system provides enhanced operational efficiency and environmental safety by using dual-sensor verification to eliminate false alarms and providing instant, GPS-tagged alerts for rapid blockage rectification. This technology is applicable in smart city sanitation, industrial wastewater management, stormwater drainage monitoring for flood prevention, and agricultural irrigation networks to ensure unobstructed water distribution and prevent environmental contamination."
