Transportation of paraffinic crude in a cold environment can result in wax depositions, which are solid deposits, on the pipe wall. The formation of paraffin in the bulk of the petroleum is a crystallization process in solution. Such phenomenon occurs along the pipe connected to offshore wells and e
