Intro_PPE Flashcards
A large-scale chemical or mechanical step used to manufacture specific items or products
industrial process
Industries where the main production methods are either continuous or done in batches, with the end product being indistinguishable.
process industries
the purpose is to transform rare and expensive materials into more affordable commodities.
industrial process
produces Desired products and often unwanted by-products that can be toxic, hazardous, and difficult to manage.
Industrial Processes
What are the types of Industrial Processes?
General Processes, Chemical Processes, Heat Processes, Physical Processes, and Distillation Processes.
A process that facilitates easy transportation by converting gases into liquids.
liquefaction
A process that removes excess liquids from materials.
Freeze Drying/Supercritical Drying
A device that removes pollutants from exhaust gases.
scrubber
A process used to extract a metal from its ore, often involving the use of heat and reducing agents.
smelting
A process that removes harmful microorganisms, often using chemicals.
disinfection
A process that uses heat to chemically combine materials.
pyro-processing
An advanced smelting technique primarily used for refining sulfur ores to produce metals like copper, nickel, and lead.
Flash Smelting
A process that uses electricity to achieve effects such as metal plating or separation.
Electrolysis
A physical cleaning process of a surface by means of sand or other particles.
sandblasting
A process that separates mixtures based on differences in boiling points.
distillation
The process of producing goods using raw materials, labor, machines, and other resources.
manufacturing
The creation of both tangible goods and intangible services by converting various resources into outputs.
production
The machines, equipment, and devices that create and/or deliver products and services.
process technology
Any technology that shapes, transports, stores, or changes physical objects.
Material-Processing Technology
Any device that collects, manipulates, stores, or distributes information.
Information-Processing Technology
A machine that simplifies the process being done by human.
Customer-Processing Technology
Customers use the technology to create the service.
Active Customer-Processing Technology
Processes and controls the customer by restraining the customer’s action in some way.
passive Customer-Processing Technology
Tracks customers’ movement or transactions in an obtrusive way.
one way- Customer-Processing Technology
Concerned with production of goods with the help of nature.
Primary Industry
Engaged in re-production and multiplication of certain species of plants and animals.
Extractive Industry
Engaged in transforming raw material into finished product with the help of machines and manpower.
Manufacturing Industry
Takes up the work of construction of buildings, bridges, roads, dams, canals, etc.
Construction Industry
Plays an important role in the development of the nation, including hotel industry, tourism industry, entertainment industry, etc.
Service Industry
What is the main goal of Production?
To create utility for consumption.
What is the main goal of Manufacturing?
