A number of wastes commonly generated at refineries are hazardous under RCRA. The largest number of different RCRA hazardous wastes are generated during wastewater treatment prior to discharge. These could include:
- API separator sludge (K051);
- Slop oil emulsion solids (K049);
- Other primary oil-water separator sludge, barscreen debris (F037);
- Characteristic wastes containing chromium (D007) or lead (D008);
- Dissolved air flotation floats (K048); and
- All other sludge, floats and used filter bags (F038)
Other potential refinery wastes regulated under RCRA include:
- Those generated from cleaning of heat exchanger bundles (K050);
- Desalter mud (F037);
- Laboratory wastes (F003, F005, D001, etc.);
- Spent alkylation sulfuric acid (D002, except when used to produce virgin sulfuric acid, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(7)) and leaded tank bottom corrosion solids (K052);
- Waste paint materials (D001); and
- Wastes containing benzene (D018).
Spent process catalysts are occasionally RCRA characteristic hazardous wastes for reactivity due to benzene (D018) or for toxicity due to sulfur on the catalyst surface (D003).
