Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is treatment of sewage sludge, 97% water, WWT-SLF, waste wood, untreated, landfarming. The Reference Product is sewage sludge, 97% water, WWT-SLF, waste wood, untreated. Sewage sludge, 97% water, WWT-SLF, waste wood, untreated is a liquid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is generated in wastewater treatment (WWT) of leachate from the sanitary landfilling (SLF) of waste wood, untreated. sewage sludge, 97% water, WWT-SLF, waste wood, untreated contains the following fractions: 100% sewage sludge with 97% water content. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),sewage sludge, 97% water, WWT-SLF, waste wood, untreated has 97% water on wet mass basis (3% dry matter) and Carbon present is of both fossil (0.75% on a dry matter basis), and non-fossil origin (46.64% on a dry matter basis). It has no heating value. This kind of by-product (recyclable or waste) is generated in a specific treatment process, and as such is not intended to be used as for modelling waste outputs from other activities. In the ecoinvent database, treatment option/s for this by-product include: deposition (landfarming). Based on the aforementioned treatments, this by-product receives, it is a non-hazardous waste. This by-product can be modelled on two levels: treatment activity and market activity. The former one refers to the specific technology treating the by-product while the latter level represents a mix of treatments. Users are encouraged to inspect the modelling assumptions of the treatment activities and when selecting the market to additionally inspect the treatment mix. Collection and transportation of this by-product is accounted in the respective market activity, users are advised to inspect and modify the average transportation distances for a case specific modelling. The Reference Product amount is -1. The cut-off classification is Waste. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
