If two different processes are involved then in that case two different patent applications will have to be filed by you.

Patent should be applied for each separate invention. If there is any modification or improvement in earlier patented invention then Patent of addition may be obtained which run concurrently with the main patent.

They cannot be covered in the same patent as both have different mechanism, though achieving the same purpose.

There is no possibility of two patents on the same. It is not possible. Every patent should have novelty, inventive step and utility.

An invention can be patented if it has a useful purpose, has patentable subject matter, is novel, and is non-obvious. The patent could cover a composition, production process, machine, tool, new plant species, or an upgrade to an existing invention. Inventors must meet certain government guidelines to get a patent.
