An embodiment of an apparatus for removing deposits from a petroleum flow line may include a pipe capable of being attached to a petroleum flow line. The pipe may have a pipe axis that defines a direction for fluid flow in the petroleum flow line. The apparatus may also include a first and a second field winding circumferentially disposed around the pipe, and an electric wave generator adapted to electrically communicate an electric wave to the first field winding and the second field winding. In response to the electric wave, the first field winding is adapted to produce a first magnetic field having a first magnetic axis and the second field winding is adapted to produce a second magnetic field having a second magnetic axis. The first magnetic axis may be noncollinear with respect to the second magnetic axis, and at least the first magnetic axis may be noncollinear with respect to the pipe axis.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for removing deposits from a petroleum flow line, the apparatus comprising: a pipe for attaching to a petroleum flow line, the pipe having a pipe axis that defines a direction for fluid flow in the petroleum flow line; a first field winding circumferentially disposed around the pipe; a second field winding circumferentially disposed around the pipe; and an electric wave generator adapted to electrically communicate an electric wave to the first field winding and the second field winding, wherein in response to the electric wave, the first field winding is adapted to produce a first magnetic field having a first magnetic axis and the second field winding is adapted to produce a second magnetic field having a second magnetic axis, the first magnetic axis noncollinear with respect to the second magnetic axis, and at least the first magnetic axis noncollinear with respect to the pipe axis. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein an angle between the first magnetic axis and the second magnetic axis is greater than 0 degrees and less than approximately 30 degrees. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first magnetic axis is substantially parallel to and displaced from the pipe axis. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein an angle between the first magnetic axis and the pipe axis is greater than 0 degrees and less than approximately 30 degrees. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first magnetic axis is rotated by a first angle about a first direction with respect to the pipe axis and is tilted by a second angle about a second direction with respect to the pipe axis, the first direction orthogonal to the second direction. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the first angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than approximately 30 degrees. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the second angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than approximately 30 degrees. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second magnetic axis is noncollinear with respect to the pipe axis. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the electric wave comprises a high frequency component comprising a high frequency in a range from approximately 25 kHz to approximately 65 kHz. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the electric wave generator is adapted to modulate the high frequency component at a modulation frequency. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the modulation frequency is less than approximately 10 kHz. 12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the high frequency, the modulation frequency, or both are selected based on properties of the flow in the petroleum flow line. 13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the electric wave further comprises a low frequency component and an ultralow frequency component, the low frequency component comprising a low frequency in a range from approximately 25 Hz to approximately 240 Hz, and the ultralow frequency component comprising an ultralow frequency in a range from approximately 0.1 Hz to approximately 10 Hz. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the electric wave generator comprises a rectifying circuit adapted to convert an input alternating current into the low frequency component, and a rectangular wave generator adapted to generate a rectangular wave at the ultralow frequency. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the rectifying circuit comprises a thyristor, and the rectangular wave is adapted to control a conduction angle of the thyristor.
