    Halogenated solvent or residue

AER oilfield waste code.

Solvents & residues that contain chlorine, fluorine or other halogens. Examples are chlorinated degreasers & their still bottoms.

Is Alberta SOLHAL hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta SOLHAL is halogenated solvent or residue 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 SOLHAL cover?

Halogenated solvent or residue. 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 halogenated solvent or residue always Alberta SOLHAL?

CodeWhen it fits
SOLHALThe 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.
