A catalytic converter, comprising:

• an entrance channel configured to receive an effluent from a furnace;
• a heater configured to heat the effluent;
• a catalyst channel in fluid communication with the entrance channel and configured to 1) receive a mixed gas comprising the oxygen and the effluent and 2) catalyze at least one compound of the effluent, the catalyst channel conducting heat from the entrance channel via a lateral edge adjacent to the entrance channel and the catalyst channel;
• and
• an outlet configured to expel an exhaust gas from the catalyst channel.
