REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

1. SYSTEMOne
® is a totally enclosed treatment process that effectively separates mineral spirit solvents from oil and other impurities. The resultant residue may be managed as used oil and is exempt from hazardous waste disposal and recovery regulations. 2. The SYSTEMOne
® distillation process separates mineral spirit solvents from oil and other impurities. It does not chemically change the resulting residue which can be managed as used oil per Federal regulations. Federal Regulation 40 CFR 279 Subpart B, paragraph (b)(2)(iii) documents that where a mixture of mineral spirits and used oil does not exhibit ignitable characteristics, the presence of mineral spirits does not preclude the treatment of the residue as used oil, even in circumstances with less than 100% percent effective separation.
3. SYSTEMO ne
® , properly utilized in accordance with the Manufacturer's user manual and specifications, generates no hazardous waste - only a small volume of oily residue. Small quantity waste generators whose sole source of hazardous waste is parts washers, upon conversion to SYSTEMOne
® typically can avoid classification as a small quantity waste generator or be reclassified from small quantity generator to conditionally exempt (under 100 kilograms) small quantity generator (“CESQG”). Even in circumstances where the oily residue may be classified as a regulated hazardous waste, Federal Regulation 40 CFR 261.5(a) and 261.5 (g)(3) allows CESQG's to place their hazardous waste in used oil containers and the resulting mixture will be regulated as a used oil. IMPORTANT The customer is ultimately responsible for the proper handling of the residue by-product and proper use of SYSTEMOne
® equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's User Manual and specifications. It is recommended that the residue be tested periodically to confirm that the equipment is being utilized properly and that the residue from your unit is properly managed as used oil. The manufacturer will be pleased to arrange for the testing at a nominal cost.
