French term or phrase: un outil de conduite de distillation et de stockage
This is from an interview with a wine producer who has partnered with a major brand and is working on improving his production: "Rien n'est à négliger pour soutenir la qualité des productions. A ce titre, j'ai aussi renouvelé mon équipement industriel, en investissant dans de nouveaux outils de conduite de distillation et de stockage." Thanks!
