Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for bottom ash, MSWI[F]-WWT, heat carrier liquid, 40% C3H8O2. The reference product is bottom ash, MSWI[F]-WWT, heat carrier liquid, 40% C3H8O2. Bottom ash, MSWI[F]-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) with fly ash extraction (F) 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[F]-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[F]-WWT, heat carrier liquid, 40% C3H8O2 has 41.7843% water on wet mass basis (70.5297% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (32.92% 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 reference product amount is -1. The cut-off classification is Waste. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
