Environmental Report 2000 - EnBW

State of the Environment Report for the Business Divisions
With the authorised conversion to a
new combustion chamber concept in
February 2001, proof of compliance
with the highly ambitious approval
limits during operational disturbances
will also be furnished. In addition, the
previously open combustion chamber
has been replaced by a closed system
with post-activated cleaning stages.
The final hurdle to official certification
after restarting operation will be repeat
emission verification for all operating
conditions.
