Current situation, development opportunities and planning of plant production stores in Igdır province

In this study, a questionnaire study was carried out on the plant warehouses in Iğdır province, district and villages and their current situation was investigated. In view of the shortcomings of the existing warehouses, it was aimed to plan a horizontal reinforced concrete warehouse with a capacity of 1500 tons for wheat grain in accordance with technical data. Within the scope of the survey studies, it was determined that most of the plant warehouses in the region were made many years ago and they did not have any projects. It was determined that the family type warehouses were made by primitive means, the roof slope angles in the warehouses were insufficient and the environmental conditions required for the grain were not taken into consideration. In addition, it was determined that the storage conditions were not observed in the warehouses except cold stores, natural and mechanical ventilation was not performed, the humidity and heat insulation of the warehouses were not provided, the storage of the product was short term and the storage environment was not healthy. As a result of the study, a total heat demand of 90116.79 W has been determined in order to ensure that the storage wall thickness is 32 cm and the storage ambient temperature is in optimum condition for safe and secure storage. As a result; improve warehouse functions without disturbing the product quality by increasing the storage time of plant products; it is possible with correct detection of factors. Accordingly, there are many factors, but one of the most important is that the ambient temperature provides optimum conditions. In order to make a good air conditioning, heat and ventilation calculations can be made and the desired ambient temperature and relative humidity values for the product to be stored and other environmental conditions can be kept under control and the quality losses that may occur in the product can be minimized.
