User manual for EDIP PC tool(beta version) Morten Als Pedersen, Danish EPA 1998.
Besides the above data, there is a general need to update LCA data in the EDIP PC tool.
The EDIP PC tool is too sophisticated and time-consuming- more useable tools are desirable.
This case illustrates that with the EDIPTEX database and the EDIP PC tool it is possible to work with very complex products.
The EDIP PC tool supports this procedure, and the results can be shown as easy-to-read diagrams.
The calculation of the functional unit's overall impact on these impact categories is carried out automatically by the EDIP PC tool.
The EDIP PC tool was very sophisticated and had errors and defects- therefore not possible to use for non-specialists.
The weighting procedure is also carried out in the EDIP PC tool, and the results are illustrated in easy-to-read diagrams, just as for normalisation.
The EDIP PC tool was abandoned as it was too complicated for LCA screening, and there was a lack of workable tools. .
The following sections describe how the equivalency factors are calculated andhow the equivalency factors that are already in the EDIP PC tool are calculated.
The EDIP PC tool only has the capacity to process a limited number of older transport types, and is not programmed with data on all emissions.
The subsequent section describes how chemicals are assessed andhow their impact potential is calculated in the quantitative EDIP model and in the EDIP PC tool.
Prior to the calculations, the EDIP PC tool was updated with the specific data required, yet as mentioned previously, quite a number of parameters have not been included.
This is particularly problematic in the chemical industry, where constituents andprocesses are kept secret from competitors Example from Teknos with data collection through the EDIP PC tool gave 3-10% of necessary data.
Lorry and cannot calculate the environmental impacts, just as LCA has the EDIP PC tool, which calculates and assesses the environmental effects of product life cycles, including transport.
If you have access to the EDIP PC tool, you will find there a unit process database with information about what it has"cost" in energy terms to produce a number of substances and materials.
When equivalency factors exist for all substances being discharged during the lifecycle of the product considered, the EDIP PC tool will calculate the overall impact of the product system on the environmental impact categories human toxicity and ecotoxicity.
The substances for which there are no equivalency factors in the EDIP PC tool do not contribute to the assessment of the lifecycle's overall impact on the impact categories ecotoxicity and human toxicity.
But the model does not calculate the production of fuel and the mode of transportation(e.g. lorry) and cannot calculate the environmental impacts,just as LCA has the EDIP PC tool, which calculates and assesses the environmental effects of product life cycles, including transport.
