    Hydraulic or transmission oil

AER oilfield waste code.

Spent oil from hydraulic systems & transmissions on rigs, trucks & plant. An AER oilfield code.

Is Alberta HYDOIL hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta HYDOIL is hydraulic or transmission oil in the AER oilfield-waste system. The waste must come from upstream facilities, wells or pipelines on that route. The code doesn’t say whether it is dangerous oilfield waste.

Dangerous oilfield waste stays on the AER route within Alberta and needs no Alberta hazardous-waste manifest unless it leaves Alberta. Record the AER code in the oilfield waste information. A regulated export also needs the federal movement assessment, and a generic industrial category doesn’t replace the AER code.

What does Alberta HYDOIL cover?

Discarded hydraulic or transmission oil. Alberta waste-manager guidance and the energy-recovery code of practice also apply. The code names the stream for the AER system. Its actual composition and properties still decide whether it is dangerous and how it is handled.

Is hydraulic or transmission oil always Alberta HYDOIL?

CodeWhen it fits
HYDOILThe waste comes from the AER upstream oilfield route and is this material.

Origin matters. Waste from an unrelated industry doesn’t become oilfield waste because its material has a similar name.
