Abstract The paper describes a new method for solving one of the global problems – paraffin rempval from pipelines. The problem is relevant for all oil producing and transporting companies of the Russian Federation and other countries. The method for solving these problems has several advantages, including duration of the overhaul period, high removal efficiency and profitability due to the use of fuel cells. The methodallows for maintaning a constant temperatures equal to the melting point of paraffin.
