493, Catalyst (reaction aid), organic solid.

    Catalyst (reaction aid), organic solid

The material is nonpumpable rather than catalyst sludge.

Organic catalyst that is a non-pumpable solid. Inorganic & sludge catalysts take forms 393, 597 & 697.

Where does Texas form code 493 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 493 and a final class character. Form 493 puts the stream in the organic solids category.

The form doesn't give a hazard status. The stream's makeup, source and properties decide the class character.

For a hazardous or Class 1 shipment that needs a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter the full Texas code in Item 13, across 2 blocks on paper. Add any EPA waste codes alongside it. The 3 form digits alone are not enough.

The generator sets the class from exclusions, federal hazardous-waste listings and characteristics, then Texas industrial-waste criteria. H means hazardous. 1, 2 and 3 are the nonhazardous industrial classes. Testing or process knowledge supports that call, and picking a form doesn't set the class.

What does Texas form code 493 cover?

This form covers catalyst or reaction-aid waste that is mostly organic and a solid that won't pump. Being a catalyst doesn't decide between the solid and sludge forms, or between organic and inorganic.

Is organic catalyst waste Texas form code 493?

CodeWhen it fits
493The catalyst waste is mostly organic and solid and won't pump.
393The catalyst waste is mostly inorganic and solid and won't pump.
597The catalyst waste is mostly inorganic pumpable sludge.
697The catalyst waste is mostly organic pumpable sludge.

Record the catalyst material, how it was used, its makeup and its physical form. You need each fact to choose between the catalyst forms.
