Claims

1. This device is a removable scrubber for diesel engine exhaust. The device is a fiber glass canister filled with a lime slurry and uses a turbo ram in conjunction with a check valve to force diesel engine exhaust through the slurry precipitating gypsum cleaning the impurities out of exhaust. It will be connected to the exhaust side of the diesel engine. It will be removable so that when the gypsum fills up inside you can take it out and recycle the gypsum and insert a new canister with fresh lime slurry inside.
