Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is lactic acid production. The reference product is lactic acid. Lactic acid is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000050-21-5. It is called 2-hydroxypropanoic acid under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C3H6O3. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and has a viscous form and is odourless. 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. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on a consumer level. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: pH regulators and water treatment products, coating products, laboratory chemicals, non-metal-surface treatment products, washing & cleaning products and water treatment chemicals. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/2956/documentation.
