    sludge – sulphur

AER oilfield waste code.

Sludge made mostly of sulphur, from sulphur recovery & forming. It is a yellow, solid-heavy sludge.

Is Alberta SLGSUL hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta SLGSUL is sulphur 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 SLGSUL cover?

Sulphur sludge. Follow Alberta guidance for landfilling sulphur waste and remediating sulphur-affected soil. 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 sulphur sludge always Alberta SLGSUL?

CodeWhen it fits
SLGSULThe 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.
