Pumping, irrigation, 65m total pumping head, 100% electricity, QLD {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
Included processes: Include infrastructure, fuel production and use of pump for irrigation. Remark: This inventory has been developed as part of the AusAgLCI initiative funded by a partnership of Australian Research and Development Corporations (RIRDC, CRDC, GRDC, SRDC, HAL, MLA, DA, FWPA) and Research Agencies (CSIRO, USQ and Q DAFF), with technical support from Life Cycle Strategies. More detail on inventory development can be found in the 'AusAgLCI Methodology for developing Life Cycle Inventory' documents located at www.auslci.alcas.asn.au. Using pumping energy formula Power=pgQh/1000n where p is density of the liquid, g is gravitation constant, Q is discharge, H is head pumped, n is efficiency of pump and motor. The infractructure is based on typical assumption in flygt EPD. Functional flow is 1m3 of liquid. Geography: Refers to an average production in Australia.
