Painterwork litharge or red lead, to a temperature from 350° to 500 °F, at which it is maintained for three or four hours. It is thick and much darker in color than the raw oil, drying much more quickly, with a coat hard and glossy but less elastic than that produced by raw oil. Poppy-seed oil is expressed from the seeds of the poppy plant. It does not possess the tenacity and quick-drying powers of boiled linseed oil, but being of a very light color it is used for delicate colors. Turpentine is used as a solvent, diluent, or thinner, to
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,
