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
