Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is treatment of sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, condensate from light oil boiler, municipal incineration FAE. The Reference Product is sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, condensate from light oil boiler. Sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, condensate from light oil boiler is a liquid waste under the category of industrial wastes. This sewage sludge is produced exclusively in the wastewater treatment (WWT) of condensate from light oil boiler. The composition of the sewage sludge, is specific to and dependent on the original composition of condensate from light oil boiler. sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, condensate from light oil boiler contain the following fractions: 100% sewage sludge with 70% water content. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, condensate from light oil boiler has 0% water on wet mass basis (30% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (25.94% on a dry matter basis). It has a higher heating value of 10.03 MJ/kg and a lower heating value of 4.2 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: thermal (municipal incineration). 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.
