Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for degreasing, metal part in alkaline bath. The reference product is degreasing, metal part in alkaline bath. This is delivering the service of degreasing, metal part in alkaline bath. The process of degreasing is based on alkaline baths containing surfactants, which remove oil and grease from metal surface. The resulting oil-detergents emulsion floats on the surface of the bath and can be removed by gravitational separators, skimmers, micro- or ultra. filtration or other appropriate means. The service includes energy and water consumption and wastewater treatment but it excludes the input of the metal. Degreasing can be used in semi-finished metallic parts that are left exposed to air or transported from factory to factory and they are greased to avoid corrosion. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
