Description

Location: CH - Switzerland
The infrastructure module includes 4 tanks with storage capacitiy of 4000 m3 each, totalling to a storage capacitiy of 16000 m3. The life time of the tanks was assumed to be 50 years. This infrastructure module has a high uncertainty and should only be seen as an approximation of the infrastructure for regional storage of liquid chemical.
[The full documentation of this dataset was originally provided in the corresponding ecoinvent report from the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories, which is accessible for free to guests and users of ecoinvent version 2 (https://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html). The dataset may subsequently have been subjected to central changes to the database, as described in the respective change report for each new release.]
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.

Technology

Most data origins from the storage of fuels, there is high uncertainty in the technological correlation. This may also affect the materials used for the tank wall. Uncertainties occur for the disposal processes for the tanks after use because of approximations with processes for residential buildings.
