<strong>The</strong> product<br />
Xylem Water Solutions is a leading global water technology provider within transport,<br />
treatment and efficient use of water, with a strong focus on finding local solutions to the<br />
world’s water and wastewater challenges. Xylem Water Solutions is certified according to<br />
ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2008. Our main production plant in Emmaboda, Sweden is<br />
also certified according to OHSAS 18001:2007.<br />
This document applies to pump <strong>3068.180</strong>, a submersible pump for the efficient pumping<br />
of clean water, surface water, and wastewater containing solids or long-fibered materials.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pump is designed for sustained high efficiency, and used mainly for operating in<br />
pump sumps, i.e. sewage pumping in pumping stations and/or sewage treatment plants.<br />
For abrasive media, Hard-Iron is required.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pump has a hydraulic power of 0.22 kW and an overall efficiency of 18%. <strong>The</strong> average<br />
weight of the pump is 49.9 kg.<br />

Overview<br />
Functional unit<br />
In order to identify and quantify the significant environmental life cycle phase of <strong>Flygt</strong><br />
products a generic LCA was carried out and documented in a LCA data report.<br />
<strong>The</strong> data and calculations that are used conform with the "Product Category Rules (PCR) -<br />
Pumps for liquids; liquid elevators and mixers (PCR 2011:22)".<br />
<strong>The</strong> functional unit is defined as 1 kW hydraulic power of the pump at best efficiency<br />
point.<br />

<strong>The</strong> allocation factor for the environmental impact during the production phase is<br />
calculated as the ratio of the product weight to the total produced pump weight for the<br />
relevant factory during one year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> system boundaries for the LCA that serves as a basis for this EPD is according to the<br />
figure below and according to the Product Category Rules.<br />

Manufacturing (Core process)<br />
<strong>The</strong> upstream process includes the extraction and refinement of raw materials, packaging<br />
materials, and transportation of raw materials.<br />
<strong>The</strong> manufacturing phase extends from resource and energy extraction up to and<br />
including the finished product.<br />
Since most of the Xylem Water Solutions <strong>Flygt</strong> branded products are manufactured in<br />
Emmaboda, Sweden, it is assumed that the pump is manufactured there. <strong>The</strong> values for<br />
resource utilization, emissions to atmosphere or water, and waste generation that is<br />
caused by production have therefore been taken from the factory in Emmaboda.<br />
<strong>The</strong> core of production is casting and machining of products, the components of which<br />
consist of cast iron, and the production of electric motors for the products. <strong>The</strong><br />
environmental impact that is caused by subcontractors has not been included in the<br />
analysis.<br />
Usage/End of life (Downstream process)<br />
According to the life cycle assessment, most of the environmental impact, i.e. >95%, is<br />
related to the usage phase. <strong>The</strong> use of electricity during the lifetime of the pump is<br />
calculated as a loss at the best efficiency point of the pump. A majority of this pump is<br />
sold in Europe and the electricity mix EU27 has therefore been used in the calculation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> usage phase also includes transport of the product from Emmaboda to customers<br />
worldwide, by sea, air, rail, and road.<br />
Spare parts and transportation for service activities are included during the products<br />
lifetime. Transportation for service is approximated as 200 km distance per service<br />
occasion.<br />

Recovery<br />
Resource utilization<br />
<strong>The</strong> materials recovered from the pump are aluminum, chromium, copper, cast iron, steel,<br />
brass, nickel, zinc, and plastics. This presupposes that the materials are handed in to a<br />
suitable recycling plant. During the recovery process in Sweden, the pump is first sent for<br />
initial clearance in which small electronic parts are removed. <strong>The</strong> pump is then sent for<br />
fragmentation in which it is broken up. Magnets, air currents, water baths and manual<br />
sorting are then used for separating the various materials.<br />
According to the Xylem Water Solutions recovery schedule for LCA, 10% of the pump<br />
material weight goes to landfill during end-of-life treatment. At a weight of 49.9 kg of<br />
pump <strong>3068.180</strong>, this represents a weight of 5 kg that goes to landfill. <strong>The</strong> remaining<br />
material of the pump is assumed to be recycled. <strong>The</strong> customer also has the possibility to<br />
return the pump to a Xylem representative.<br />
This product complies with the European directive RoHS (Directive 2011/65/EC). Meaning<br />
that the product does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,<br />
polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in levels<br />
exceeding maximum concentration values.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following tables show the resources that are used, including energy during the pump<br />
production and utilization phases. <strong>The</strong> positive effects of end-of-life treatment have not<br />
been included.<br />
100% of the electricity that is used in Emmaboda originates from renewable energy<br />
sources. <strong>The</strong> EU27 electricity mix (2002) is assumed to be used during the usage phase,<br />
which is a calculated mean value of the energy sources that are used in Europe for<br />
electricity generation.<br />
