WastAway secures patent for its hydrolyzer infeed
In the United States (US), WastAway LLC, a subsidiary of Bouldin Corporation and a green tech company that converts municipal solid waste (MSW) to fuel, has announced that it has been granted a US patent for its hydrolyzer infeed, bringing the total number of US and international patents to 27.
The new hydrolyzer infeed patent – announced at the WasteExpo 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada (NV) – covers WastAway’s continuous feed device that injects pre-processed municipal solid waste (MSW) into high-pressure hydrolyzers called “Cellulators”.
These technologies are key innovations that transform MSW into clean, negative carbon footprint biofuels and other sustainable products in about 30 minutes, achieving 85 percent landfill diversion.
Last week, WastAway was awarded a US patent for its entire waste-to-fuel process, which covers the company’s full technology suite.
In the last two weeks, we have been awarded patents for our entire waste-to-fuel process and our hydrolyzer infeed technologies, enhancing our leading-edge vision and position in the marketplace. We are thrilled to make this announcement at the world’s largest municipal solid waste conference, said Mark Brown, CEO of WastAway.
WastAway is poised for rapid growth in the coming years. Construction on two major waste-to-fuel plants is in the planning stages.
One is in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (TN), which will divert 85 percent of the city’s trash from the Middle Point Landfill in an industrial area of the city’s south side.
The second is in Kern County, near Bakersfield in California (CA). It too will divert 85 percent of the waste processed into renewable fuel and other beneficial products.
These plants will cost an estimated US$210 million to build, and each will process up to 400 tonnes per day of MSW.
