        I work on a chemical plant.

        A chemical plant  is a factory that manufactures and processes chemicals. We have big reactors which are really big and hold over 6000 litres of solution (same as 3000 small bottles of coke!).

        Any reactions we complete in the laboratory we complete on the chemical plant on a really large scale to make a lot of product for customers
