    Filter cake (solids left after filtration)

Queensland N190: filter cake from treating raw water for drinking-water supply is outside this entry.

Filter cake, the solids left on filters or presses after filtering. Cake from treating raw drinking water is left out.

Is Queensland N190 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. N190 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. Tracking applies while the commercial or industrial waste stays regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route before treating a movement as trackable. This code has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.

For a tracked load, enter N190 as the waste code on the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator completes Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it through an approved online, bulk-upload or numbered-paper route. The Queensland exclusions still apply.

What does Queensland N190 cover?

Filter cake, except waste from treating raw water for drinking-water supply. It is the solid cake left when a liquid or slurry is filtered.

Official wording
filter cake, other than filter cake waste generated from the treatment of raw water for the supply of drinking water
