Technology vs Equipments
Technology is a type of knowledge – it tends to be
abstract, meaning it's not something you can put your
hands on.
Equipment is the out come of technology (things
made from knowledge). Equipment is something you
can put your hands on.
What is chemical equipments?
Chemical equipment (process equipment) used for
chemical processing includes a wide range of
machines, tanks and others…
Chemical processing is the transformation of raw
materials to final products by chemical and physical
processes.
These processes require treatment and storing of big
quantities in different types of containers / vessels
