Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is wood preservation, spray tunnel/deluging, water-based preservative, outdoor use, no ground contact. The Reference Product is wood preservation, spray tunnel/deluging, water-based, outdoor use, no ground contact. This is delivering the service of wood preservation with spray tunnel/deluging method. The service represents the surface treatment of dried wood with 1 kg of water-based wood preservative for use class 3 (outdoor use with no ground contact) in the automated spraying or deluging process. The process includes inputs of the wood preservative, electricity consumption, infrastructure and emissions. The input of wood is excluded and should be added manually. A similar application rate as used in the dipping/immersion method with a water-based preservative is assumed (100 g/m2). This means that for treating 1 m2 wood, 0.10 kg of this dataset is required. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
