Lallemantia iberica Lallemantia iberica Lallemantia iberica, known commonly as dragon's head, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae. The plant has been cultivated for its seeds in southwestern Asia and southeastern Europe since prehistoric times. Its vernacular name in Iran is balangu shahri. The seeds contain the edible oil known as lallemantia oil. The oil content of the seeds is about 30%, sometimes reaching up to 38%. The oil is used as a substitute for linseed oil in the production of varnish, furniture polish, ink, paint, soap, and linoleum. Balangu plant (Lallemantia iberica F. & C. M.),classified in
Oil production plant Sometimes the produced oil may be "stabilised" (a form of partial distillation) which reduces vapour pressure and sweetens "sour" crude oil by removal of hydrogen sulphide, thereby making the crude oil safer for storage and transport. The production plant is said to begin after the production wing valve on the oil well. The product from each well is piped through the choke valve, which regulates the rate of flow. The flowlines are gathered at the inlet manifold and routed into a separator, which will separate the three components. Once the oil has been separated from the gas and produced water,
