A method of removing paraffinic wax from pyrolysis oil that includes flowing pyrolysis oil into a tank and reducing the temperature of the pyrolysis oil to a temperature that causes the paraffinic wax that is in solution in the pyrolysis oil to precipitate and form (1) paraffinic wax in solid form and (2) remaining pyrolysis oil in liquid form. The method further includes pumping the remaining pyrolysis oil from the tank to a first location. The method then involves heating the paraffinic wax in solid form to form paraffinic wax in liquid form and pumping the paraffinic wax in liquid form to a second location. In this way, the paraffinic wax and the remaining pyrolysis oil can be processed separately according to their respective properties.
