Leakage is the indirect effect of emission reduction policies or activities that lead to a rise in emissions elsewhere (e.g. fossil fuel substitution leads to a decline in fuel prices and a rise in fuel use elsewhere). For land use change and forestry activities, leakage can be defined as the unexpected loss of estimated net carbon sequestered. For CDM/JI projects, leakage can be a result of unforeseen circumstances, improperly defined baseline, improperly defined project lifetime or project boundaries, and inappropriate project design.

Leakage is an increase in emissions or reduction in removals outside a project's boundary (the boundary defined for the purposes of estimating the project's net GHG impact) resulting from the project's activities. Leakage is associated with changes in reductions/removals that are significant and reasonably attributable to the project, but are not under the control of the proponent.

The presence of a consistent concentration of ions in the effluent of an ion exchange system due to incomplete removal of the ions; caused by incomplete regeneration, excessive flow rates, low temperatures, the concentration or characteristics of the influent ions, or other factors. (See hardness leakage.)
Helpful?           0
(hardness, sodium, silica, etc.) Caused by incomplete regeneration of an ion exchange bed. Since complete regeneration is usually inefficient, most ion exchange processes operate at one half to one third of the total capacity of the ion exchanger.
Helpful?           0
As relates to ion exchange, the presence in the effluent of the type of ions, present in the feedwater to be treated, which the ion exchange process was supposed to remove.

The presence in the effluent of the type of ions, present in the feedwater to be treated, which the ion exchange process was supposed to remove. Sometimes caused by caused by incomplete regeneration, excessive flow rates, low temperatures, the concentration or characteristics of the influent ions, or other factors. (See hardness leakage.)
