Petrochemical manufacturing

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'dimethyl ether' is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000115-10-6. It is called 'methoxymethane' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C2H6O. It is gas under normal conditions of temperature and pressure with a weak ether-like odor. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level is used in the following products: cosmetics and personal care products air care products coating products adhesives and sealants anti-freeze products biocides (e.g. disinfectants pest control products) and lubricants and greases. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

The activity generating the emissions is dimethyl ether production, from methanol dehydration. The Reference Product is dimethyl ether. Dimethyl ether is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000115-10-6. It is called methoxymethane under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C2H6O. It is gas under normal conditions of temperature and pressure with a weak ether-like odor. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: cosmetics and personal care products, air care products, coating products, adhesives and sealants, anti-freeze products, biocides (e.g. disinfectants, pest control products) and lubricants and greases. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/7991/documentation
