| Use advice for data set | Users employing this LCA data for environmental impact evaluations should consider the entire life cycle of the groundwater remediation process, ensuring inclusion of the electricity consumption for the pump and treat system as well as any emissions associated with the generation of the power used. It is crucial to account for local electricity mix when calculating the environmental burden to accurately reflect the remediation's impact. Users should also consider end-of-life stages of the facility and equipment, and potential offsets from the improved quality of the remediated groundwater. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The provided LCA data describes a groundwater ex-situ remediation process, specifically illustrating the operation of groundwater extraction and treatment systems designed to remediate contaminated groundwater. This system is purposed for environmental rehabilitation activities and is typically deployed in areas where groundwater has been adversely affected by pollutants. The remediated groundwater can subsequently be utilized for a variety of uses such as, but not limited to, agricultural irrigation, industrial applications, and replenishing local water supplies. |
