Abstract

The invention refers to a method and a system for cooling a subsea production fluid of hydrocarbon product from above a solids formation temperature for further transport below the said temperature as slurry, comprising the steps of feeding the production fluid through a lumen by which heat is transferred through the lumen wall to an ambient cooling medium, such as sea water, for precipitation of material dissolved in the production fluid, as well as the step of dislodging any attaching solid matter from the lumen wall by means of a runner passing with the production fluid flow through the lumen. The method is characterized in that the runner for dislodging the solid matter from the lumen wall is magnetisable and actively driven in its passage through the lumen. The method may be carried out in a system incorporating a magnetizable runner which is driven through the lumen by means of induction coils arranged about the lumen.
