Detailed Project Report on multi commodity cold storage 500 mt

MULTI COMMODITY COLD STORAGE
CAPACITY: 500 MT
 [CODE NO. 3322]


Any building or section of building that achieve controlled storage conditions using refrigeration can be regarded as a cold storage facility. Technically speaking, cold storage is a special kind of room, the temperature of, which is kept very low with the help of machines and precision instruments. Such a facility is usually employed for the preservation of perishable food products for extended time duration. Most countries adopt well recognized standards to be followed while designing and operating of all kinds of cold storage facilities .

Energy efficiency in buildings employed for operating cold storages is achieved through a multipronged approach involving adoption of bioclimatic architectural principles responsive to the climate of the particular location; use of materials with low embodied energy; reduction of transportation energy; incorporation of efficient structural design; implementation of energy-efficient other building system components; and effective utilization of renewable energy sources to power the building . Thus, design and development of cold storages in India has always being a big issue in this sense.

Indian climate can be easily classified into six major zones: cold and sunny, cold and cloudy, warm and humid, hot and dry, composite, and moderate. Translation of bioclimatic architectural design in the Indian context, therefore, provides aplethora of experiences and success stories to learn from. Several buildings have come up, fully or partially adopting the above approach to design.

India is having a unique geographical position and a wide range of soil producing variety of fruits and vegetables like apples, grapes, oranges, potatoes, chilies, ginger, etc. Marine products are also being produced in large quantities due to large available coastal areas. The present production level of fruits and vegetables is more than 100 million MT and keeping in view the growth rate of population and demand, the production of perishable commodities is increasing every year. Number of cold storage units and total storage capacity in some major states of the country are provided in Table 1

The farmers usually seek for favorable combination of circumstances to produce cash crops and earn remunerative prices. The consumers get the supply of perishable commodities with lower fluctuation of prices. Besides the role of stabilizing market prices and evenly distributing commodities both on demand basis and time basis, the cold storages also render several other benefits to the farmers and the consumers. Expensive raw materials like dry fruits, chemicals, essences and processed foods such as fruit juice/pulp, concentrate dairy products.
