Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited has announced the launch of Tonalli, an advanced decentralized integrated food waste management solution. The system is designed to transform organic waste into valuable green energy, specifically biogas, and organic fertilizer. The launch event took place on May 13, 2026, at the company's Head Office & Plant in Hadapsar, Pune.

The Tonalli solution is built on the principles of the circular economy and environmental responsibility. It is positioned as a compact, efficient, and decentralized waste-to-energy solution that promotes 100% waste utilization. The inauguration was attended by distinguished industry veterans from the Hadapsar Industrial Estate, including leaders from Gits Food Products Private Limited and Pune Gas Systems Private Limited.

Technology and Features

Tonalli incorporates BioBit Technology and functions as a plug-and-play solution. The system is engineered to address the evolving needs of compliance-driven and sustainability-focused waste management systems following the introduction of India’s Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026. It is ideally suited for environments with continuous organic waste generation, such as industrial canteens, hospitality establishments, and residential communities.

The solution offers several technical capabilities aimed at operational efficiency and safety:

• Controlled Anaerobic Digestion Process: Converts organic waste into biogas under controlled environmental conditions.
• Inbuilt Gas Agitation Technology: Utilizes a regulated biogas-based agitation system for digester mixing, eliminating the need for mechanical agitators.
• Pressurised Gas Delivery: Features an indigenous Kirloskar compressor to elevate gas pressure for a consistent flame.
• Industrial Safety Standards: Includes PLC-based safety logic with automatic flaring, vacuum protection, and layered pressure relief.

Operational Impact

The technology partner for the initiative, NobleExchange Environment Solutions Private Limited, highlighted that each installation of Tonalli is equivalent to planting thousands of trees, replacing LPG, and earning carbon credits. The biogas produced undergoes multi-stage cleaning, including moisture removal and H2S scrubbing, before utilization.
