Lahti Slip Stream Tests
Rome, Palazzo dei Congressi, May 10, 2004
• In the slip stream plant 5% of the syngas produced in the CFB gasifier was
cooled and filtered
• The long term testing was stopped in April 2004, after more than 3300 hours
of operation.

• By cleaning the waste derived product gas before the boiler, the amount of
harmful components in the gas (heavy metals, alkalies, chlorine, dust, etc.) can
be reduced significantly.
• The combustion of the cleaned gas was also environmentally safe: e.g.the
emissions of heavy metals and dioxines were clearly below the WID limits
