In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a method for treating exhaust from an engine. The method may comprise generating a first signal indicative of an engine load and generating a second signal indicative of a pollutant level. The method may further comprise recirculating exhaust based on the first signal and injecting a reductant based on the first signal and the second signal.
