Linseed oil advance in the technology of oil painting. Traditional glazing putty, consisting of a paste of chalk powder and linseed oil, is a sealant for glass windows that hardens within a few weeks of application and can then be painted over. The durability of putty is owed to the drying properties of linseed oil. When used as a wood finish, linseed oil dries slowly and shrinks little upon hardening. Linseed oil does not cover the surface as varnish does, but soaks into the (visible and microscopic) pores, leaving a shiny but not glossy surface that shows off the grain of the
Gas oil separation plant Gas oil separation plant A Gas-oil separation package (GOSP) is a "package" used in the upstream oil industry. The package is fitted the well head after the choke valve and before the production manifold, and separates the crude oil from sediments, solids and sand (below using a filter) and gases and condensates to allow the crude to be pumped on the pipeline. Beware that water need not be separated, causing the need to add chemicals so that the crude and water emulsifies. This process is then reversed at storage by adding demulsifiers that makes the water fall out, and can
