The present invention relates to Method for removal of wax deposited on an inner wall in contact with a fluid stream, the method comprises cooling the inner wall and the fluid stream to a temperature of or below the wax appearance temperature, which will allow for dissolved wax to precipitate on the inner wall, wherein the method further comprises the heating of the inner wall for a short period of time to release the deposited wax from the surface of the inner wall, mainly in the form of solid parts. Further the invention relates to a method of determing the thickness of wax deposits in a pipe section by computing the temperatures obtained upstream and downstream in the said pipe section, before and after applying at heat pulse.
