Refinery heat-exchanger cleaning sludge
Use K050 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K050 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K050 is the federal listing for refinery heat-exchanger cleaning sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.
What does Federal K050 cover?
Cleaning sludge from heat exchanger bundles in petroleum refining. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K050.

Is refinery heat-exchanger cleaning sludge always Federal K050?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K050 | It is refinery heat-exchanger cleaning sludge from the named Schedule 12 process. |
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.
