An exhaust gas treatment system for an internal combustion engine comprises an exhaust gas conduit in fluid communication with the internal combustion engine to conduct the exhaust gas between a plurality of exhaust treatment devices. A hydrocarbon injector in fluid communication with the exhaust gas delivers hydrocarbon thereto. A selective catalyst reduction device is disposed downstream of the hydrocarbon injector and is configured to receive and mix the hydrocarbon and exhaust gas and to reduce components of NOx therein. An oxidation catalyst device is disposed in fluid communication with the exhaust gas conduit downstream of the selective catalyst reduction device and is configured to oxidize exhaust gas and hydrocarbon mixture to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas. A particulate filter assembly is located downstream of the oxidation catalyst device for receipt of the heated exhaust gas, and combustion of carbon and particulates collected in the exhaust gas filter.
