Uses Cases for Hazardous Waste Management Software
The users of hazardous waste management software can be broken into three separate types of organizations.
- Hazardous Waste generators, such as chemical companies, oil and gas facilities.
- Transporters, these companies collect waste from generators and transport it to a treatment, storage and disposal facility.
- Environmental Service companies, these companies that manage a treatment storage and disposal facility. (TSDF’s).
IMEC’s hazardous waste management software provides a waste management software solution for all three types of organizations.
Waste Transporters
Waste Transporters use this hazardous waste software to manage waste profiles, print compliance documentation, waste labels and manifests. The software allows transporters to create jobs for collection, print the required documentation an waste labels. Jobs are tracked from through pickup, through transport and final disposal. Reports and Dashboards provide customer service information for each customer and disposal.
Environmental Service Companies
Environmental Service Companies must properly manage hazardous waste inventory, tracking waste from cradle to grave. The tracking of splits and combinations is key as environmental service companies consolidate waste from multiple customers before treatment, final disposal. Tracking waste onsite ensures no breaches compliance rules occur. RCRA compliance such as time on site or volumes onsite are also tracked providing a waste manager with a comprehensive management tool for hazardous waste within a transfer and disposal facility. The software provides Environmental Service companies with a waste management software solution to track hazardous waste from cradle to grave.
Large Quantity Generators(LQGs)
Large quantity generators, such a chemical or oil and gas companies use the solution as a hazardous waste tracking software to manage waste inventory.
Central accumulation areas must be managed not exceed the storage time limits to maintain RCRA compliance. The software will also produce QR codes or barcodes to track waste. The QR code or Barcode is a unique tracking number for each waste container.
The software quickly and efficiently produces shipping documents, labels and manifests to meet regulations. Electronic manifests such as the US eManifest system are also supported. With uploads to the RCRA website providing a substantial cost benefit and also a time saving feature.
To ensure regulatory compliance, the weekly inspection of hazardous waste areas must also be performed s per RCRA regulations. IMEC’s hazardous waste management software provides users with a Mobile App to perform these waste area inspections.
Key Features of Hazardous Waste Tracking Software
Waste Shipments
The software manages the process of hazardous waste shipments. Features allow users to:
- Perform Shipments for disposal.
- Perform inter site shipments.
- View and Report on shipments to disposal facilities.
- Improve the shipping process and shipment reporting.
Shipment Planning
For waste generators and environmental service companies the software helps plan shipments. Shipments can be limited by weight and container counts based on trailer type. Shipment documentation, which is customizable to meet local regulations includes:
- Shipment summaries.
- Manifests or Electronic manifest such as eManifest in the US.
Regulatory Compliance and Reporting
The software is a hazardous waste management software solution that supports corporate, federal, and state reporting. As a waste management software solution it helps with tasks such as TRI reporting and biennial reporting.
The software offers reports to meet local waste regulations. Dashboards provide quick access to key compliance metrics to ensure regulatory compliance.
IMEC’s software is a waste management software solution that ensures regulatory compliance, helps manage waste costs, and streamlines the full waste life cycle.
Track from Generation to Disposal
IMEC’s hazardous waste tracking software tracks waste through the full life cycle, from generation through to disposal. It provides a full audit trail of all waste activities.
Real-Time Inventory
Users can track their hazardous waste inventory using a web portal, waste can be tracked on multiple sites with ease. Each container is tracked, its current location and also a history of any actions taken. The full life cycle of waste is tracked, such as receiving of waste, waste movements and shipping or disposal.
Waste Profiles
A Waste profile is a definition of a waste stream. The profile holds all regulatory information, such as hazard class, proper shipping name, disposal codes etc. IMEC’s hazardous waste tracking software will allow documents to be stored and tracked against each waste profile such as a chemical analysis.
For environmental service companies a waste profile can be customer specific. Customer specific waste profiles allow checks to be performed to verify that the waste is valid when received at the disposal site.
Management of Waste Storage Areas
Managing Central and Satellite Storage Areas (CAA and SAA) must be performed by a waste generator to meet waste regulations. Using the software, staff label and scan the barcodes on each waste container as it enters the area. This streamlines operations and aids with regulatory compliance.
- Email alerts will notify managers when containers are nearing their storage onsite limit.
- The mobile app allows users to inspect storage areas, required to meet regulations.
Mobile App to Track Hazardous Waste Inventory
The Mobile App can be used by the driver to pick up waste or by operators at the disposal facility. The Mobile App allows users to perform a wide range of activities. These include:
- Create and manage containers.
- Split or combine containers, pack or repack.
- View container movements.
- Perform stock checks.
- Process shipments for disposal.
Tracking the Waste Costs
For waste generators, knowing which department is generating the waste is a key metric. IMEC’s hazardous waste tracking software manages costs by department by tracking waste back to the point of generation. When disposal occurs, the disposal costs for a shipment are allocated back to the department that generated the waste.
Tracking Waste Inventory with Real-Time Updates
The mobile app lets users update inventory in real time. Users can record pickups, movements, and shipments, preventing delays and errors.
The software will:
- By using the Mobile App to record all waste movements, ensure that waste inventory is up to date in real time.
- Provide an up to date waste inventory at a site.
- Manage the waste inventory at multiple sites, ensuring compliance.
- Using the Work with Waste feature to manage inventory, set disposal or treatment routes and create shipments.
- View the audit trail for each waste container.
- Track waste from Cradle to Grave.
Managing Waste Streams, Profiles
IMEC’s software provides full management of hazardous waste streams, or profiles. Whether handling used oil, solvents, or chemicals, the software centralizes all details for each profile. Based on the customers location the various entries are presented, such as EWC code in Europe or EPA waste codes in the US.
Streamlined Waste Treatment and Disposal
For environmental service companies IMEC’s waste tracking software manages key data for hazardous waste disposal, such as:
- Disposal codes.
- Treatment routes, ensuring waste segregation.
- EPA quantities.
Lab Packing, Managing Waste within a Lab
Lab packing is the process of combining waste from a laboratory into a larger container for shipment. Lab Packing is done with built-in checks and reporting using the Mobile App. The software generates inventory reports, ensuring compliance with waste regulations.
Chemical Analysis
The chemical analysis module allows users to define sets of tests. A set of tests can then be are performed against an item of hazardous waste once received at a transfer station or disposal facility. The results of the tests are stored with the waste and are used to verify that it matches the waste profile. Test results can also be compared against the expected results and if different, the hazardous waste can be rejected. The rejected hazardous waste must then be reclassified.
Improve Management Processes:
- Use the Mobile App to record waste movements, activities. Eliminate errors and duplication. Remove inefficient spreadsheets used for the recording of waste inventory.
- Define waste profiles and store them in a central location, provides central management of key data.
- Manage Waste profile expiration dates and record waste disposers waste profile reference, improving efficiency, customer service and aiding compliance.
