An engine system includes first and second combustion chamber groups that supply exhaust to respective first and second exhaust passages. NOx in the exhaust of the first combustion group is converted to ammonia, such as by enriching the exhaust with fuel and then passing the mixture over an appropriate catalyst. Particles are trapped and continuously oxidized through appropriate placement of one or more particle traps coated with an appropriate oxidizing catalyst. NOx in the second passage from the second combustion group is combined with ammonia produced in the first passage and converted to nitrogen and water in a merged passage before being vented to atmosphere. This conversion is accomplished by passing the merged exhaust over an appropriate selective catalytic reduction catalyst.
