This dataset represents the operation of a water pump that is powered by an electric engine. The reference product is 1 MJ of electricity consumed by the engine. The amount of energy that is actually delivered to the water varies depending on the operating conditions and pump characteristics.
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.
