Hazardous Waste Management
Hazardous waste management in refining and chemical processing handles spent catalysts, solvents, sludges, and contaminated water under RCRA and equivalent state regulations, from point of generation through treatment and disposal. Practitioners classify wastes, manage manifests and storage limits, and select treatment paths — incineration, stabilization, recycling — that minimize risk and cost. Sound waste management is a regulatory necessity and a meaningful operating cost lever, especially as the industry pushes toward circularity and emissions reduction.
