4 General General The company The product Xylem Water Solutions is a leading global water technology provider within transport, treatment and efficient use of water, with a strong focus on finding local solutions to the world s water and wastewater challenges. Xylem Water Solutions is certified according to ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2008. Our main production plant in Emmaboda, Sweden is also certified according to OHSAS 18001:2007. This document applies to pump , a submersible pump for the efficient pumping of clean water, surface water, and wastewater containing solids or long-fibered materials. The pump is designed for sustained high efficiency, and used mainly for operating in pump sumps, i.e. sewage pumping in pumping stations and/or sewage treatment plants. For abrasive media, Hard-Iron is required. The pump has a hydraulic power of 9.71 kw and an overall efficiency of 73.1%. The average weight of the pump is 212 kg. The uniquely patented N-technology has mechanical self-cleaning abilities with a clogresistant performance. This enhances energy saving and results in sustained high efficiency over time in wastewater applications. 2 Flygt Environment Product Declaration

5 Environmental performance Environmental performance Overview Functional unit In order to identify and quantify the significant environmental life cycle phase of Flygt products a generic LCA was carried out and documented in a LCA data report. The data and calculations that are used conform with the "Product Category Rules (PCR) - Pumps for liquids; liquid elevators and mixers (PCR 2011:22)". The functional unit is defined as 1 kw hydraulic power of the pump at best efficiency point. Allocation System boundaries Table 1: Declaration of contents, with the quantity of material specified as a proportion of the total pump weight in kg, and in kg per functional unit. Material Weight (kg) % by weight Weight/functional unit (kg/kw) Cast iron Steel Copper Chloroprene rubber Aluminium Stainless steel Glycol Samarium cobalt Impregnating resins Polyamide Wolfram carbide Parts not included* Total * weight on details not included in the content declaration The allocation factor for the environmental impact during the production phase is calculated as the ratio of the product weight to the total produced pump weight for the relevant factory during one year. The system boundaries for the LCA that serves as a basis for this EPD is according to the figure below and according to the Product Category Rules. Flygt Environment Product Declaration 3

6 Environmental performance DOWNSTREAM PROCESS CORE PROCESS UPSTREAM PROCESS Energy Raw material extraction and refinement Manufacturing of parts Emissions Waste Transportation to customers Assembly of product Packaging Use of product Recycling of product Upstream process Manufacturing (Core process) The upstream process includes the extraction and refinement of raw materials, packaging materials, and transportation of raw materials. The manufacturing phase extends from resource and energy extraction up to and including the finished product. Since most of the Xylem Water Solutions Flygt branded products are manufactured in Emmaboda, Sweden, it is assumed that the pump is manufactured there. The values for resource utilization, emissions to atmosphere or water, and waste generation that is caused by production have therefore been taken from the factory in Emmaboda. The core of production is casting and machining of products, the components of which consist of cast iron, and the production of electric motors for the products. The environmental impact that is caused by subcontractors has not been included in the analysis. Usage/End of life (Downstream process) According to the life cycle assessment, most of the environmental impact, i.e. >95%, is related to the usage phase. The use of electricity during the lifetime of the pump is calculated as a loss at the best efficiency point of the pump. A majority of this pump is sold in Europe and the electricity mix EU27 has therefore been used in the calculation. The usage phase also includes transport of the product from Emmaboda to customers worldwide, by sea, air, rail, and road. Spare parts and transportation for service activities are included during the products lifetime. Transportation for service is approximated as 200 km distance per service occasion. 4 Flygt Environment Product Declaration

7 Environmental performance Recovery Resource utilization The materials recovered from the pump are aluminum, chromium, copper, cast iron, steel, brass, nickel, zinc, and plastics. This presupposes that the materials are handed in to a suitable recycling plant. During the recovery process in Sweden, the pump is first sent for initial clearance in which small electronic parts are removed. The pump is then sent for fragmentation in which it is broken up. Magnets, air currents, water baths and manual sorting are then used for separating the various materials. According to the Xylem Water Solutions recovery schedule for LCA, 10% of the pump material weight goes to landfill during end-of-life treatment. At a weight of 212 kg of pump , this represents a weight of 21 kg that goes to landfill. The remaining material of the pump is assumed to be recycled. The customer also has the possibility to return the pump to a Xylem representative. This product complies with the European directive RoHS (Directive 2011/65/EC). Meaning that the product does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in levels exceeding maximum concentration values. The following tables show the resources that are used, including energy during the pump production and utilization phases. The positive effects of end-of-life treatment have not been included. 100% of the electricity that is used in Emmaboda originates from renewable energy sources. The EU27 electricity mix (2002) is assumed to be used during the usage phase, which is a calculated mean value of the energy sources that are used in Europe for electricity generation.
