AER oilfield waste code.

Oilfield sludge that does not fit the hydrocarbon, lime or sulphur codes. An AER oilfield code.

Is Alberta SLGOTH hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta SLGOTH is other sludge 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 SLGOTH cover?

Sludge from the bottom of a tank or vessel in a cooling tower, glycol or gas drying, lime use, or a gas-sweetening system. 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 other sludge always Alberta SLGOTH?

CodeWhen it fits
SLGOTHThe 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.
