From 2005-09-12 to 2005-09-16

Venue: Stuttgart, Germany

Summary:
Fundamental principles governing the subsurface transport of dissolved and nonaqueous phase organic contaminants will be presented in this short course along with important microbial processes, which govern the natural and enhanced attenuation of contaminant plumes via biotransformation. Transport/reaction concepts will be illustrated using computational visualization methods. Problem sets will be assigned on key material (i.e. advection/dispersion, contaminant partitioning, surfactants, biotransformation kinetics, bioaugmentation and natural attenuation). New and emerging methods of enhanced in-situ nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPL) remediation will be discussed in detail. A number of illustrative sample problems will be discussed and solved in small groups at workstations.
