conversion in the plant / processing in the plant Explanation: If it involves a change in the raw materials to a significantly different product (say involving a chemical reaction, such as conversion of methane to energy), I would say conversion would be more appropriate here. If it involves physical processing of the raw materials (say cleaning and cutting of logs), I would say processing would be more appropriate. In any case, I think processing would have a broader meaning if the source text isn't more specific. Also, I would use "in the plant/factory" or "in a plant" instead of "in-plant", which is an expression I've never come across. |

factory processing Explanation: From the limited context available, it looks as though this is contrasting 'production in the field' with subsequent 'processing in the factory' — I personalyl probably woldn't use 'plant' here, unless for some reason they are making some specific distinction about their plant instead of some other; otherwise, it seems to me more about the type of processing taking place. Note that in this sort of context, 'transformation' usually equates to the notion of 'processing' — cf. such mentions as: "viande provenant de l'UE, transformée en France", etc. |
