THE QUICK READ
Prestage Foods runs a turkey processing plant in Camden, South Carolina. The facility uses air-chilling instead of the traditional water-chill method most poultry plants rely on, cutting water use by about 95 percent — the first turkey plant in the Western Hemisphere to run air-chill at this scale. The plant holds roughly 69,000 pounds of ammonia, large enough to require a formal process safety management program since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. It's a heavily automated operation, built as part of an investment originally announced at $150 million.
