Exchanges with the environment (Inventory)

For each process that is involved in the life span of the hydraulic motor, the exchanges with the environment are inventoried and the most significant results in environmental terms were selected and presented in table (3.10). The table shows which substances are exchanged with the surroundings by the processes in the hydraulic motor’s product system, and it provides an overview of where large quantities occur. The exchanges are summarized with the EDIP-PC tool in resource consumptions and emissions to air and water, as waste, which are quantified as the time per product for which the impact was assessed to last. The exchanges for resources, emissions and wastes are expressed in grams and kg.

Table (3.10): Inventory of the hydraulic motor OMV/W-800 exchanges with the environment for the entire product system.

 

In order to get a clear picture of the hydraulic motor product system, each stage of the hydraulic motor is summarized (i.e. raw material + semi products, manufacturing stage, use stage and disposal stage), and finally the full product is included here to illustrate its total significance, and reported in table (3.10). It is important to remember that the “manufacturing stage” covers only Sauer-Danfoss manufacturing processes data.

Some values are quite high in the table (3.10). It is important to keep in mind, that the large quantities are not necessarily the same as large environmental impacts because the substances pose different hazard properties. It is not necessarily the case that the exchanges result in impacts on the environment.

In order to understand where in the product system, the most significant environmental impacts can occur, an impacts assessment is therefore required of the individual exchanges in the hydraulic product system. These exchanges are converted to potential impacts in the later section (3.3), which express the effect that can be triggered under the right circumstances.

The most significant quantities presented in the table are discussed here in order to understand the attribute in the impact potentials section.

 

0.1.1                      Resource Consumptions

The hydraulic motor weighs 37.636 kg plus 1.770 kg of packaging material. Resource consumptions as shown in table (3.10) show that much larger quantities of resources are extracted in the materials stage in order to produce the hydraulic motor 39.400 kg (raw material used to manufacture one piece of hydraulic motor 59.000 kg). By adding resource consumptions for the production of materials it is seen that more than 90 kg (see MECO table (3.8)) of pure resource are used to produce 59.000 kg materials (materials in the form of rods and raw parts, which are extracted in the manufacturing stage), of which approx. 43.700 kg (for recycling) end up as materials in the actual product (including packaging material). The resources used for the materials, which end in the product, weigh less than the product material. This is attributed to the fact that the cast iron and steel including manganese, nickel, molybdenum are recycled materials, and that recycled materials are not ascribed as a resource consumption of 100%, but only as a part of the resource consumption, where 80% of the steel and cast iron is credited for renewed products and the rest is lost. A large quantity of coal is used for the production of electricity and in the raw material preparation processes. 

The manufacturing stage uses more that approx. 45 kg fuel during manufacturing processes, while the use stage consumes approx. 42982 kg throughout the hydraulic lifespan including 40050 kg of crude oil.

The transport data on the raw material production, from refining to raw material production, and from production of materials to manufacturing of parts by Sauer-Danfoss, is included in the manufacturing stage and to the subcontractors it is included in the semi-products in the raw materials + semi-products stage, which is summarized via models in the different stages.

The negative figures in the table (3.10) are for the disposal stage. This is attributed to the fact that 99.99% of metals (recovered) and corrugated cardboard (65%) are recycled, and part of the resource consumptions and the emissions from the extraction of raw materials therefore follows them to the next product system.    

 

0.1.2                      Emission to air

As shown in table (3.10), the raw materials production creates large amounts of nitric oxides, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and hydrocarbons, which are mainly due to the raw material production processes. The electrical energy also contributes. In the manufacturing stage, air emission is a result of electrical energy consumption and transportation. The use stage is the second dominant stage in the product system. The use stage creates large amounts of nitric oxides, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, NMVOC-diesel and hydrocarbons air emissions related to the combustion of diesel oil.       

 

0.1.3                      Emission to water

In emission of organic substances in the form of chemical oxygen, demand (COD) is mainly derived from the use stage of the product system. The raw materials + semi-products stage creates very small organic substances. The oils (ancillary substances) emission from the manufacturing stage with the wastewater is very small. The heavy metals emissions are significantly greater in the raw material stage, where the production of steel and cast iron make the largest contribution. The washed heavy metals during the manufacturing processes are not included; they may affect the results significantly.

 

0.1.4                      Waste

The large quantity of waste arises in the raw material stage+ semi-products stage in the form of slag from the processes, but most of the waste produced in the raw materials is credited in the renewed products. The large quantity of waste also derives from the use stage of the hydraulic product system, namely 204 kg of waste, which is the cause of large quantities of energy consumption.
