This dataset represents production of 1 kg of tap water under pressure at facility gate, ready for distribution in network. It represents average operation of conventional with biological filtration treatment for production of tap water. Conventional with biological filtration treatment includes coagulation and decantation, biological filtration and disinfection. Other treatment such as oxidation (ultraviolet radiation, ozone) and other adjustment (pH, alkalinity, etc.) can be present in some plant. Inventory was constructed from reported chemicals, energy inputs and wastes from 2 distinct conventional with biological filtration plants located in Québec.
[This dataset is meant to replace the following datasets:
- tap water production and supply, GLO, 2000 - 2000 (58c7c438-e3f3-49e2-a66c-e494dc0dbb20)]
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.
