Pollutants like Nitrogen oxide (NO) and Hydrocarbon (HC) exhausted from automobiles are very harmful. The scrubber method is most widely used in power plants and marine engines for emission control. In this study, the Diesel Plastic oil blend (DPB) and wet scrubber method are employed to reduce the pollutants. The scrubber treatment with NaOH (Sodium hydroxide) solution is used to reduce emissions in the Internal Combustion (IC) engine. The NO is drastically reduced. Hydrocarbon (HC) is also gradually reduced using the NaOH solution. The DPB was tested in a computerized, water-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder, 5.2 kW diesel engine for analyzing its performance and emission characteristics with a scrubber. The experiments are conducted under different loading conditions (0, 1.3, 2.6, 3.9, and 5.2 kW). At 5.2 kW loading condition, the diesel engine running on DPB with scrubber reduced the NO emission up to 25% and HC emission up to 14%.
