Sewage sludge - 75% water - WWT - WW from GGBFS production (treatment of - sanitary landfill)

The activity generating the emissions is treatment of sewage sludge, 75% water, WWT, WW from GGBFS production, sanitary landfill. The Reference Product is sewage sludge, 75% water, WWT, WW from GGBFS production. Sewage sludge, 75% water, WWT, WW from GGBFS production is a liquid waste under the category of industrial wastes. This sewage sludge is produced exclusively in the wastewater treatment (WWT) of WW from GGBFS production. The composition of the sewage sludge, is specific to and dependent on the original composition of WW from GGBFS production. sewage sludge, 75% water, WWT, WW from GGBFS production contain the following fractions: 100% sewage sludge with 75% water content. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),sewage sludge, 75% water, WWT, WW from GGBFS production has 75% water on wet mass basis (25% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (50.17% on a dry matter basis). It has a higher heating value of 22.51 MJ/kg and a lower heating value of 14.55 MJ/kg . 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 (sanitary landfill). 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.
