Paraffins are heavy hydrocarbon chains, (C30 to C40) that are entrained in “wet” natural gases. They usually have a melting point between 100*f to 160*f; which is why I recommended the boiling water earlier. Without knowing where the gas originated from, the refining processes used and the...

All natural gases have impurity limits. These impurity limits are usually dictated by the gas plant’s sales contracts. Most consumer grade propane is only 90% propane, 5% propylene and has a 5% impurity allowance. Most refiners take full advantage of that 5% impurity allowance. More than likely...

The wax you are dealing with looks like paraffin which is a common precipitant in natural gas. In which case your tank is probably contaminated. I’m guessing you are seeing this build up just downstream of an orifice where the gas is cooling down thus allowing the paraffin to “drop out” and...
