Cottonseed linters, at mill {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.001
Included processes: not relevant as this is just an allocation process. Remark:This process allocates the co-producing process the cotton oil production to the product cotton seed linters. It includes a correction to the carbon balance after economic allocation.; Geography: Australia Technology: Typical oil mill designed for rape oil solvent extraction, with pre-pressing of rape seeds, European context. Time period: Data from 1996 to 2003, current technology in the EU Version: 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E_mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU Generator: Generator/publicator: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E_mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU
