Use advice for data set When applying this data within a Life Cycle Assessment framework, users should ensure that the functional unit of one ton of dry sludge (1 t-DS) is consistently used throughout their analysis to maintain accuracy. Attention should be paid to any potential differences in sludge characteristics specific to the region or the processing facility in question. Additionally, users must consider any environmental impacts associated with the transportation of sludge to the cement plant, as well as the emissions resulting from the co-processing of sludge in the cement manufacturing process.

Data set use approval

General comment Several typical sludge treatment facilities in China, representing anaerobic digestion, composting, co-combustion, thermal drying-incineration, and cement production, respectively, are selected to carry out the inventory. Data are mainly taken from the site-specific measurement, either by field survey or by operation report. Sludge characteristics are based on the average values of the sites investigated.

Technical purpose The dried sludge referred to in this Life Cycle Assessment data is intended for utilization in the cement manufacturing process as an alternative fuel or raw material (AFR). The process data represents the treatment and disposal of municipal sludge which, after being dried, is utilized within the cement industry to either partially replace conventional fuels or serve as a supplement to raw materials due to its calorific value and material composition.
