Like the title says, Is it possible? Or it runs a different algorithm scrypt or what?

No, it requires a large in memory block that prevents BTC ASICs from working with it.

No ASIC "Application Specific Integrated Circuit" uses sha256 algorithm!

It depends on each of the algorithms and block nature.
If the block is larger, it will need more ram.
(probably 16GB GPU drives will satisfy this).
ASIC equipment, as mentioned before, only mines with SHA-256d - nothing else.

Bitcoin miners (ASICs) can only mine the SHA256 algorithm.
Litecion ASICs can only mine the Scrypt algorithm but Ethereum uses DAG (Dagger-Hashimoto) algo.
Currently you can only mine Ethereum with video cards.
Not your keys, not your coins!

There seem to be some compaines that are making etherium ASICs, but for their own use.
It is a good thing to only be mineable on a a GPU I think (IT keeps the difficulty down and the distribution high).

So i can not mine with Asic miners? What kind of equipment is needed in order to mine them?
You can use only GPU cards with more than 2GB mem.
