    treater hay

AER oilfield waste code.

Used treater hay, straw packed into treaters to break up oil emulsions. It comes out soaked with oil.

Is Alberta TRTHAY hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta TRTHAY is treater hay 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 TRTHAY cover?

Hay removed when a treater is cleaned out. 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 treater hay always Alberta TRTHAY?

CodeWhen it fits
TRTHAYThe 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.
