Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is seawater reverse osmosis module production, 8-inch spiral wound, enhanced. The Reference Product is seawater reverse osmosis module. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the product of "seawater reverse osmosis module", that is used for desalination of seawater. This infrastructure uses a 0.2032 m (8-inch) spiral wound that can have a baseline or an enhanced module. Depending on the module used, it can have an active membrane surface from 35.3 to 40.9 m2/unit and a membrane that can support maximum operating pressure of 6.9 -8.3 MPa (1,000 - 1,200 psig or 69-83 bars). The process includes material inputs for production and energy for recycling a recirculated solvent. It excludes losses, end-of-life, and energy consumption during production. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
