If I'm reading you right.

A 6" diameter scrubber will have about 28 square inch surface area.
Putting a 2 ata positive pressure in the scrubber can will yield 29.4 psi of pressure.
There will be 830 pounds of force trying to blow the lid off your scrubber.
Sounds like latch failures and a posthumous Darwin award.

So .6 positive pressure = 8.82psi or 247lbs... hmm, still quite a bit...
Guess thats why the narked@90 pot is threaded and a much smaller surface area...
