Project description

OTP has carefully selected b-Cat as their supplier for the construction and installation of the Controlled Atmosphere (CA) facility.

After a couple of designs and meetings, a final lay-out of the CA facility has been prepared with a scoop to future extension. In first stage the facility is built with a single CA treatment chamber but with the intention to increase the capacity on a yearly base. For the extension of the capacity, b-Cat has already prepared the hardware and the system capacity is big enough to handle in total 4 CA chambers of the capacity of 500 C48 cartons each.

A separation wall is created in the warehouse to separate the incoming and clean side.
