Exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines are due to incomplete combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber. This incomplete combustion results in a significant increase in the amount of Carbon Mono-oxide, Un-burned Hydrocarbons, and Oxides of Nitrogen in the exhaust stream. This study proposes a new approach to minimize the amount of pollutant emitted by internal combustion engines using a post-Combustor which consist of heating elements known as Glow-plugs that degrade Carbon mono-oxide, Hydrocarbons, and Oxides of Nitrogen using a high temperature that is up to 1600˚C. This Post-Combustor can be retrofitted in any existing vehicle's exhaust line without any alterations. Moreover, it is designed such that there is no increase in fuel consumption; it only utilizes electrical energy from the vehicle's electrical system.
