Methods for treating paraffins, iron sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and/or bacteria in subterranean operations and operations involving the production and/or transportation of oil and gas are provided. In one or more embodiments, the methods include contacting a surface comprising at least one paraffin deposit and at least one iron sulfide deposit with a treatment fluid comprising a paraffin dissolver and acrolein; and allowing the treatment fluid to at least partially dissolve or degrade the paraffin deposit and the iron sulfide deposit.

An in-line treatment cartridge and methods of using same are disclosed. The in-line treatment cartridge can include a cylindrical body configured to allow fluid to flow therethrough and a plurality of particulates contained within the body. At least one particulate of the plurality of particulates can include a chemical treatment agent. The at least one chemical treatment agent can separate from the at least one particulate upon contact with a fluid.
