Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is treatment of sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, WW from recycling of waste PP, municipal incineration. The reference product is sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, WW from recycling of waste PP. Sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, WW from recycling of waste PP is a liquid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is primarily generated in the wastewater treatment (WWT) of wastewater from recycling of waste PP. sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, WW from recycling of waste PP contain the following fractions: 100% sewage sludge. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),sewage sludge, 70% water, WWT, WW from recycling of waste PP has 70% water on wet mass basis (30% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (24.6% on a dry matter basis). It has a higher heating value of 9.515 MJ/kg and a lower heating value of 3.719 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 ordinary transforming activity.
