New Patents Awarded for WastAway System

MCMINNVILLE, TN — WastAway Servces, LLC, a division of Bouldin Corporation, Inc., has been awarded two more patents by the United States Patent Office, both of which are central to the WastAway process.

The first was for the Bioreactor Vessel and Shaft Assembly and the second was for the Containment System for Continuous Flow Hydrolizers. Both patented items allow the WastAway System to convert municipal solid waste into an environmentally-friendly, non-hazardous product.

The WastaAway system reduces trash volumes to one-eighth their original size, through the application of these patented devices, and produces a byproduct called Fluff, which can be pellitized for conversion into steam and energy, synthetic fuels, or can be used as a growing medium. The Island of Aruba is currently installing the WastAway system to handle the municipal waste for the island, where a land shortage makes additional landfills unfeasible.
