The equipment proposed and developed for research or teaching centres is derived from production equipment, rather than the other way round. This enables easy switching from the experimental sector to actual operations, and benefits from extensive modularity (the design process applied allows for the simple and gradual upgrading of equipment), easy use (equipment designed and developed with and for the end user), and reduced and simplified maintenance, with the integration of standard components available internationally.
