Need recovery options for a K048 stream?
Map recovery routes for K048Source-specific wastes from 13 named industries, including petroleum refining, wood preservation, pesticide manufacturing and iron and steel production. Each K code names both the industry and the exact process residue.
K codes apply only to the named industry and the named process residue.
Many K wastes have established recovery paths inside their industry (e.g. metals reclamation from refinery and steel residues).
Land disposal restrictions (40 CFR Part 268) set treatment standards before disposal.
European Waste Catalogue (EWC) codes that describe an overlapping or equivalent waste stream to K048.
Recognized recovery routes for this waste family, ranked by typical recovery tier. Which route fits depends on your specific stream — composition, volume and region.
Oil-bearing refinery residues reinserted into the refining process for oil recovery are excluded from solid waste regulation — the recognized highest-value route for these streams.
40 CFR 261.4(a)(12) — oil-bearing residues returned to refiningOrganic-bearing streams with usable fuel value can be blended and burned for energy recovery in permitted boilers and industrial furnaces instead of being incinerated as pure disposal.
40 CFR Part 266 Subpart H — burning for energy recoveryWhere no recovery route fits the stream, land disposal restriction treatment standards define the required treatment before landfill — the compliance floor, not a recovery outcome.
40 CFR 268.40 — LDR treatment standardsThese are the typical routes for the K list. Your stream's actual options depend on its composition and where it sits.
See how this gets validatedYour dissolved air flotation (daf) float from the petroleum refining industry stream is assessed against chemistry, waste classification and proven recovery routes — graded results in your browser in seconds. No call, no commitment.
Recovery tiers only. For numbers that survive a technical review, see the validation dossier.
