This activity links the byproduct fraction 7 from the naphtha separation process, to the generic market for organic chemicals. All chemicals that enter this market provide the function of an organic chemical. This route is chosen due to lack of knowledge on the fate of this fraction. It may also be fed back into the general raw material streams or be used as a fuel. It is recommended to rivise this dataset accordingly as soon as possible.
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
