Hazardous waste disposal for chemical manufacturing
Batch and continuous chemical production, from specialty to commodity.
Greer Enterprises handles hazardous and industrial waste for chemical manufacturing across eight Southeast states. We characterize the stream, assign waste codes, manifest the shipment and route it to a permitted facility, with the treatment path named before anything is scheduled.
Source: 40 CFR Parts 260 through 268What chemical manufacturing generates
The streams we see most often in this sector:
- Reaction residues and still bottoms
- Off specification and failed batch product
- Spent catalyst and process media
- Filter cake and wastewater treatment sludge
- Tank cleaning and turnaround waste
- K listed process residues where applicable
What matters in this sector
Chemical manufacturing is the sector most likely to generate K listed waste, which narrows the available outlets considerably. Process changes are also the most common cause of a waste determination quietly going out of date, so profiles need reviewing whenever a line changes.
Services that apply
- Deep well injection for aqueous streams
- Incineration for listed organics
- Off spec product destruction with certification
- Turnaround waste planning
What every shipment produces
- Signed Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, EPA Form 8700-22
- Land disposal restriction notification per regulated stream
- Waste profile with assigned codes and supporting basis
- Certificate of destruction or treatment from the receiving facility
- Documentation that holds up on inspection
Common questions
Do you work with chemical manufacturing sites specifically?
Chemical manufacturing is the sector most likely to generate K listed waste, which narrows the available outlets considerably. Greer has served industry across the Southeast since 2001, with Certified Hazardous Materials Managers on staff.
How is a quote built?
Per stream rather than per site. Volume, container type, contamination, treatment path and distance to the receiving facility all move the number. Recovery is priced alongside disposal where the stream supports it.
Can you handle a stream nobody has characterized?
Yes. Characterization is the first step and it is what keeps a load from being rejected. Send a profile, an old manifest or photographs of the drums and a technical professional will tell you what you are holding.
