Exhaust scrubber shouldn't choke on CO2
As it stands the exhaust scrubber jams if you feed it CO2 through the input, which can happen if a boiler it's connected to has a gas boiler on it that has multiple fuel types, so it makes exhaust when it burns an oil but makes CO2 when it burns fuel gas. So the gas boilers have to be kept isolated from the exhaust scrubbing system I have for my whole smelting and power setup even if they will occasionally use some oil products. Since the scrubber makes CO2 as a product clearly it has a way to expel it, so why not have a recipe for taking in CO2 and just pushing it back out again, with no products or steam created. There'd still be an incentive to not feed it CO2 because it would waste machine capacity and time. I'm also okay with it choking on steam (as from burning hydrogen) but it'd be nice if it could just harmlessly deal with that as well.

DavidThis comes down more to management than needing to change. If you are running gas boilers and an exhaust filter, fuel gas and ethanol overproduction should be sent to flares via a pipe balancer with storage pipes set to priority to prevent production of co2 by the boilers. same with steam production by exhaust scrubbers, if you want to send that back through the system you do it by pipe balancer with overflow directed to a smoke stake for venting
