From 2006-09-18 to 2006-09-22

Venue: Stuttgart, Germany

Summary:
Fundamental principles governing the subsurface transport of dissolved and non-aqueous 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, bio-augmentation and natural attenuation). New and emerging methods of enhanced in-situ non-aqueous 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.
