Vidhata CBG Napier Feedstock & Harvesting Calculator

CBG Napier Feedstock & Harvesting Calculator

Calculate daily harvesting requirement, rainy-season silage buffer, bunker area, machine requirement and indicative CAPEX.

1. CBG Plant & Harvesting Inputs

Normally 52 Sundays/year.
3 months ≈ 90 days.
Automatically changes with selected configuration.

2. Silage & Bunker Assumptions

Default: 800 kg/m³ compacted silage.
Default: 8 ft maximum silage height.
6-inch concrete base floor; default ₹300/ft².
Default ₹200/ton for filling and compaction.
Bunker floor CAPEX is calculated on the theoretical floor area required for the buffer. Filling & compaction cost is calculated on the fresh Napier buffer quantity.

Storage note: Bunker area is a theoretical floor footprint calculated as compacted silage volume ÷ bunker height. Actual civil design should allow additional space for walls, drainage, access roads, loading/unloading and operating clearances. CAPEX note: All machine and civil rates are indicative planning assumptions and should be confirmed through a project quotation. The ₹300/ft² floor rate represents a 6-inch concrete base-floor assumption supplied for this calculator.
