From 2002-03-11 to 2002-03-15

Venue: Stuttgart, Germany.

Summary:
Fundamental principles governing the subsurface transport of dissolved and nonaqueous phase organic contaminants will be presented 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 with emphasis on how subsurface heterogeneities influence contaminant migration. 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 NAPL remediation will be discussed in detail. These methods will include soil vapor extraction, air sparging, steam injection and other thermal methods, as well as surfactant and cosolvent flushing. A number of illustrative sample problems will be discussed and solved in small groups at workstations.
