Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product bottom ash MSWI-WWT heat carrier liquid 40% C3H8O2' is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. This bottom ash is produced exclusively in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) of 'sewage sludge 70% water WWT heat carrier liquid 40% C3H8O2' that in turn is produced exclusively from the wastewater treatment (WWT) of 'heat carrier liquid 40% C3H8O2'. The composition of the bottom ash is specific and dependent on the original composition of 'heat carrier liquid 40% C3H8O2' 'bottom ash MSWI-WWT heat carrier liquid 40% C3H8O2' contain the following fractions: 100% bottom ash. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),'bottom ash MSWI-WWT heat carrier liquid 40% C3H8O2' has 32.277% water on wet mass basis (75.5989% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (32.85% on a dry matter basis). It has no heating value. 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 (slag 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 cut-off classification is Waste. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is -1.
