Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is fatty acid production, from palm oil. The Reference Product is fatty acid. Fatty acid is an organic substance. It is called a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: CH3(CH2)nCOOH, whereas n can vary usually between 5-21, and the aliphatic chain can be either saturated or unsaturated. It is mostly liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. 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: nutrition additives. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: chemicals. 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/16139/documentation
