Abstract: A system for removing effluents from the exhaust gases of an engine includes an auxiliary occupational emissions device positioned downstream of a vehicle-regulated emission abatement system. One or more glow plugs is positioned between the vehicle-regulated emission abatement system and the auxiliary occupational emissions device. The glow plugs are operable to heat exhaust gases exiting the vehicle-regulated emission abatement system prior to advancement into the auxiliary occupational emissions device. A method of lighting off an auxiliary occupational emissions device is also disclosed.
