MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421010058 A) filed by Ladkat Rajendra Vithal, Pune, Maharashtra, on Feb. 14, 2024, for 'method and hybrid biogas device for sewage sludge and wet garbage.'

Inventor(s) include Ladkat Rajendra Vithal.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The hybrid bio-composter (100A) is an advanced waste management system designed for efficient organic waste decomposition, sewage sludge processing, and biogas generation. The system comprises an enclosure with four interconnected compartments, each serving a distinct role in the decomposition process. Wet garbage enters through a sloping inlet (5) into the first compartment (1), where initial breakdown occurs before moving into the second compartment (2) via a bottom window (9). Gases generated in the process transfer into the third compartment (3) and subsequently into the fourth compartment (4) through a bottom window (14). A pressure-releasing valve (10) regulates gas flow, while slurry exits through an outlet window (15). Integrated with a sewage sludge separator (100B), the system enhances composting by incorporating sludge from a sewage separator window (16). Methane gas is collected in a storage chamber (17), promoting sustainable energy use."
