Pollutants in engine exhaust such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, and drowsiness, as well as more severe consequences such as loss of consciousness. They can even be fatal.
A diesel scrubber is an air pollution control device designed to reduce these and other harmful engine exhaust emissions. These devices are used in commercial equipment such as construction and mining apparatus. Diesel exhaust scrubbers are often required to comply with various regulations including Cal/OSHA, CARB, EPA, and RICE NESHAP.
There are several different types of exhaust scrubbers available. A diesel exhaust scrubber muffler will replace your existing muffler, whereas a clamp-on diesel scrubber can be installed in the exhaust system before or after the muffler. Some existing mufflers can be modified to have a diesel exhaust scrubber added internally.
