Unit process Australia v00.00.001

This data have been copied from the ecoinvent version 2.2 database and adapted to Australsian database by substituting input flows from Australasian database for ecoinvent processes where they are available. Because of the ecoinvent detail included in this data in is subject to the same copyright and distribution restrictions as the ecoivent database published in SimaPro. See system description for more detail on the substitution. Translated name: Harnstoff-Ammoniumnitrat, als N, ab Regionallager Included processes: The unit process inventory takes into account the production of urea ammonium nitrate from ammonia and nitric acid. Transports of raw materials and intermediate products were included as well as the transport of the fertiliser product from the factory to the regional storehouse. Production and waste treatment of catalysts, coating and packaging of the final fertiliser products were not included. CO2-consumption (733 kg CO2/ton of urea) during production of urea was not included, since CO2 arises as a by-product during the production of ammonia. Infrastructure was included by means of a proxy module. Remark: Refers to 3.13 kg urea ammonium nitrate with a N-content of 32.0% CAS number: 015978-77-5; Formula: NH4NO3+CO(NH2)2; Geography: According to the reference used for this inventory, the European average is derived from mean values of several fertiliser plants within Europe. The production of raw materials and/or intermediates outside Europe was taken into account by considering the production technology in the respective country and the relative import shares. Technology: Production inventory was derived from detailed literature studies and specifications from the manufacturer, relevant for the European production. Transport specifications of the fertiliser product to the regional department store, which were not included in the reference used for this inventory, were complemented by data given in Patyk & Reinhardt (1997). Time period: Year when the principal reference used for this inventory was published.

Sampling procedure

Sampling procedure: Values given in the reference originate from manufacturers and/or other data sources which in turn refer to the real situation and hence are largely secured. However, the emissions factors may be somewhat uncertain. When no information on the speciation of N - emissions was given in the reference, the most likely speciation was assessed by an expert. For particulate emissions factors into the air specified only as the total particle mass in the reference, particle size distribution was assessed based on an expert's guess.
