Refinery emulsified oil-water separation sludge
Use F038 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal F038 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F038 lists refinery emulsified oil-water separation sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.
What does Federal F038 cover?
This is refinery sludge or float from physical or chemical separation of emulsified oil, water and solids, including induced-air and dissolved-air flotation units. F037, K048, K051 and the separately described stormwater, non-contact cooling-water and biological-treatment streams are excluded.
- Official wording
- Petroleum refinery secondary (emulsified) oil, water and solids separation sludge; sludge or float generated from the physical or chemical separation of oil, water and solids in process wastewaters and oily cooling wastewaters from petroleum refineries, including sludge and floats generated in induced air flotation (IAF) units, tanks and impoundments, and in dissolved air flotation (DAF) units; sludge generated in stormwater units that do not receive dry weather flow; sludge generated from non-contact once-through cooling waters segregated for treatment from other processes or oily cooling water; sludge and float generated in biological treatment units that employ one of the following treatment methods: activated sludge, trickling filter, rotating biological contactor for the continuous accelerated biological oxidation of wastewaters, or high-rate aeration (including sludge and float generated in one or more additional units after wastewaters have been treated in a biological treatment unit). Waste listed as F037, or in Part 2 as K048 or K051, is excluded.

Is refinery flotation sludge Federal F038 or another code?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| F038 | Sludge or float from second-stage refinery separation, and not F037, K048, K051 or another excluded stream. |
Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
