Description: technologyComment of stone wool production (CH, RoW): The company works on a technically very high level. The fuel for the melting process is coke. The furnace is a cupola melting furnace. The emissions are abated by post-combustion with energy recuperation. The partition of the total dust emission to the categories of particulate sizes is based on an uncontrolled mineral wool cupola (EPA 1998) which only partly represent this case.

Comment: This is a market activity. Each market represents the consumption mix of a product in a given geography, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product in the same geographical area. Markets group the producers and also the imports of the product (if relevant) within the same geographical area. They also account for transport to the consumer and for the losses during that process, when relevant. This is the market for 'stone wool', in the Global geography. Transport from producers to consumers of this product in the geography covered by the market is included. The product "stone wool" represents 1 kg of stone wool, unpacked. It has been defined for internal use in this database as input for the packaging module. Inputs and outputs are not balanced in the unit process since some are included in the unit process 'stone wool, packed'. This dataset is not to be used to describe stone wool in other inventories. This market is supplied by the following activities with the given share: stone wool production, CH: 0.008416885559675 stone wool production, RoW: 0.991583114440325 generalComment of stone wool production (RoW): This product is not available on the market as it is not packed. It has been defined for internal use in this database as input for the packaging module. Inputs and outputs are not balanced in the unit process since some are included in the unit proces "rock woll, packed, at plant". This dataset is not to be used to describe rock wool in other inventories. [This dataset was already contained in the ecoinvent database version 2. It was not individually updated during the transfer to ecoinvent version 3. Life Cycle Impact Assessment results may still have changed, as they are affected by changes in the supply chain, i.e. in other datasets. This dataset was generated following the ecoinvent quality guidelines for version 2. It may have been subject to central changes described in the ecoinvent version 3 change report (http://www.ecoinvent.org/database/ecoinvent-version-3/reports-of-changes/), and the results of the central updates were reviewed extensively. The changes added e.g. consistent water flows and other information throughout the database. The documentation of this dataset can be found in the ecoinvent reports of version 2, which are still available via the ecoinvent website. The change report linked above covers all central changes that were made during the conversion process.] generalComment of stone wool production (CH): This product is not available on the market as it is not packed.
