Reactive Transport Modeling for Exploring the Potential of Water Quality Sensors to Estimate Hydrocarbon Levels in Groundwater

Petroleum products have contaminated groundwater with harmful organic compounds, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Collecting and analyzing polluted groundwater samples is expensive and undertaken infrequently. However, quick remedial action in case of unexpected events requires continuous monitoring. In-situ water...

Modeling MIC and Metal Precipitation with a 1D Reactive Transport Model

In order to simulate microbially influenced mineral precipitation process, a 1D reactive transport model is developed. The developed reactive-transport model consists three components: MATLAB (main stream), ORCHESTRA (equilibrium reaction processor) and EXCEL (user interface). The established model as a generic tool enables the simulation of one...
