Products classified under HTS 2710.91.00.50
PCT-Contaminated Transformer Waste Oil
Waste oil recovered from electrical transformers contaminated with polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs) at levels requiring special handling, containing less than 50 mg/kg PCBs if present. Classified under HTS 2710.91.00.50 as waste oils with PCTs or PBBs as the primary contaminants. Used in industrial recycling processes under strict environmental regulations.
PBB-Laden Capacitor Drain Oil
Drainage oil from decommissioned capacitors contaminated with polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), potentially with trace PCBs below 50 mg/kg. Meets HTS 2710.91.00.50 criteria for waste oils containing PBBs from bituminous mineral sources. Primarily handled by specialized e-waste recycling firms.
Mixed PBB/PCT Electrical Insulating Oil Waste
Contaminated insulating oil from electrical substations containing both PBBs and PCTs, with incidental PCBs below 50 mg/kg. HTS 2710.91.00.50 applies to such multi-contaminant petroleum waste oils. Requires advanced thermal treatment for disposal.
PCT Transformer Mineral Oil Reclamation Waste
Residue oil from PCT-contaminated mineral oil reclamation process in electrical utilities, trace PCBs compliant. HTS 2710.91.00.50 designation for such utility waste oils with PCTs. Part of transformer maintenance recycling programs.
Industrial Machinery PBB Waste Lubricant
Spent lubricant oil from heavy industrial machinery contaminated with polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) from fire-retardant additives, with PCB traces under regulatory limits. Falls under HTS 2710.91.00.50 due to PBB content in petroleum-based waste oil. Collected during routine equipment maintenance.
PCT Fire-Retardant Hydraulic Waste Oil
Waste hydraulic fluid from manufacturing equipment using PCT-based fire retardants, containing less than 50 mg/kg PCBs. Classified in HTS 2710.91.00.50 for petroleum waste oils with PCT contamination. Generated in metalworking and heavy industry applications.
PBB-Contaminated Cutting Oil Waste
Waste cutting and grinding oil from machining operations with PBB flame retardant residues, PCB levels under 50 mg/kg. Fits HTS 2710.91.00.50 for metalworking waste oils containing PBBs. Common in automotive and aerospace part manufacturing.
