en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Ltd (KPCL) has launched a waste-to-energy solution called Tonalli, which converts organic food waste into biogas and organic fertilizer. Tonalli is a compact, decentralized system suitable for industries, hospitality, industrial canteens, commercial kitchens, and residential communities. By achieving a 100% waste utilization process, it helps users reduce waste management challenges while obtaining renewable energy and valuable by-products.
Designed based on circular economy principles, this solution transforms food waste into clean energy and nutrient-rich organic fertilizer, promoting efficient resource recovery. Users can thereby reduce reliance on traditional fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and piped natural gas (PNG), lowering energy costs while gaining a safer alternative cooking fuel. The technology also supports organizations in enhancing sustainability performance and reducing environmental footprint through responsible waste management practices.
Tonalli complies with India's Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, which emphasize decentralized waste treatment and four-stream waste segregation. By enabling on-site processing of organic waste, the solution helps businesses and communities meet regulatory requirements, minimizing waste transportation and dependence on landfills. Aman Kirloskar, Managing Director of Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Ltd, stated that Tonalli represents the company's commitment to creating sustainable impact through engineering innovation, providing industries and communities with an effective way to convert food waste into valuable green energy while supporting regulatory compliance, resource recovery, and long-term environmental responsibility.
Nuriel Pezarkar of technical partner NobleExchange Environment Solutions Private Limited added that Tonalli, utilizing BioBit technology, is a compact plug-and-play solution. Each installation is equivalent to planting thousands of trees, replacing LPG, and earning carbon credits—outcomes reflecting environmental responsibility, circularity, and economic value.
At the core of Tonalli is an advanced controlled anaerobic digestion process that efficiently converts organic waste into biogas through finely managed biological processes. The system integrates multiple innovative technologies, including advanced controlled anaerobic digestion, gas agitation technology eliminating mechanical stirrers, multi-stage biogas purification and cleaning systems, pressurized gas delivery using Kirloskar compressors, and programmable logic controller (PLC)-based safety controls with automatic combustion and pressure relief mechanisms. These technologies collectively ensure reliable operation, high efficiency, and industrial safety.
With the launch of Tonalli, Kirloskar Pneumatic strengthens its position in sustainable engineering and responsible resource utilization. This solution meets the growing demand for decentralized waste management systems while supporting renewable energy generation, carbon reduction, and circular economy goals. For industries, institutions, and residential communities seeking environmentally friendly waste treatment alternatives, Tonalli offers an efficient, scalable, and future-ready technology that transforms waste into valuable resources.
