I’ll fill you in on a fact everything comes from the ground the materials are sometimes mixed by us but unless you shop on Venus it came from the dirt you stand on! But yes parafin is a byproduct of the process that forms hydrocarbons. Some oil has a lot of parafin and we treat it to keep the equipment flowing. When the trucks come to get it they take the parafin the same as the oil only if it is above 15% do they reduce the scale. Hey candles burn don’t they?
