I am looking to scrub out CO and CO2 along with NOx from the exhaust of a natural gas fire. I've tried using catalitic converters and sodalime to get ride of the CO and CO2 respectivly. Is there anything that can scrub this exhaust or another process I should consider? Any help would be greatful as I have run out of ways to combate this problem

Please explain some about the process. From the description, you are burning natural gas and want to scrub CO, CO2 and NOx. This only leaves nitrogen and water in the stream. I suspect that you are not using natrual gas combustion to generate nitrogen.
 
I am burning a natural gas fireplace. I am only using the combustion to produce heat. The whole idea is to scrub the exhaust gases down to a safe level for a living space.
 
Easel, if there is incomplete combustion of fuel then co will also produced in it. 2ndly, Nox are produced in it because N2 reacts with O2 in high temperature zones & in ultraviolet rays to form NOx.
