		Paraffin was obtained by Laurent in 1830 by the distillation of bituminous schist, and in 1835 by Dumas from coal-tar; but the product appears to have been regarded only as a curiosity, and Lord Playfair has stated that prior to 1850 he never saw a piece of more than one ounce in weight.
		In the refining of crude shale-oil, the greatest care is exercised to prevent dissociation of the paraffin, large volumes of superheated steam being passed into the still, through a perforated pipe, at a pressure of from ro to 40 lb, to facilitate distillation at the lowest possible temperature.
		The solid paraffin accumulates in a well or channel, where it is stirred up by rotary arms, so that it may be readily drawn away by a pump to the filter-press, whereby the solid paraffin is freed from oil.

	Paraffin Deposition During Single-phase Flow of Crude Oil in Pipes
		Paraffin is the common name for high molecular weight aliphatic components of crude oil.
		Paraffin deposition causes a loss of billions of dollars per year worldwide due to the enormous cost of prevention and remediation, reduced or deferred production, well shut-ins, pipeline replacements and/or abandonment, equipment failures, extra horsepower requirements, and increased manpower needs.
		From the studies conducted in the JIP it became clear that a much broader collection of experimental data is necessary to develop proper paraffin deposition models, and to understand some of the very complex mechanisms involved in paraffin deposition, such as aging and shear stripping.
