    Ion-exchange resin or regenerant liquid

AER oilfield waste code.

Used ion-exchange resin & regenerant liquids from water treatment. The resin softens or cleans water until it is spent.

Is Alberta IEXMAT hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta IEXMAT is ion-exchange resin or regenerant liquid 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 IEXMAT cover?

Ion-exchange resin or regenerant liquid. 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 ion-exchange resin or regenerant liquid always Alberta IEXMAT?

CodeWhen it fits
IEXMATThe 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.
