Canola oil pressing, at oil mill {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
Included processes: This process includes the transport of canola seeds to the mill, and the processing of the seeds to canola oil and canola meal. The oil extraction refers to the solvent extraction technique. System boundary is at the oil mill. Remark: Inventory refers to the co-production of canola oil and meal. Process is unallocated, for allocated products look at Canola oil, at mill/AU and Canola meal at mill/AU ; Geography: Taken from ecoinvent data for Rape seed oil extraction which is based on different plants worldwide, mostly in Europe (incl. literature data) Technology: Typical oil mill designed for rape oil solvent extraction, with pre-pressing of rape seeds, European context. Time period: Data from 1996 to 2003, current technology in the EU Version: 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Arnaud Dauriat Telephone: 0041 76 425 99 77; E-mail: arnaud.dauriat@eners.ch; Company: ENERS; Country: CH Generator: Generator/publicator: Edgard Gnansounou Telephone: 0041 21 693 06 27; E-mail: edgard.gnansounou@epfl.ch; Company: EPFL; Country: CH
