Abstract :
The numeric simulation of thin paraffin layers forming on the internal surface of an oil pipeline is carried out, using a moving electromagnetic radiation emission source. The time of total pipeline cleaning of the paraffin is determined depending on its thickness, initial oil temperature, power and frequency of the microwave source.
