	Substrate Utilization Example

Example of substrate utilization data for an accelerated bioremediation microcosm test (points) compared to the results for a custom RT3D reaction package (lines).

Plot of substrate utilization - data versus reaction model

Comparison of laboratory data and RT3D simulation results for a batch reaction. Sediment, groundwater, lactate (500 mg/L), and PCE were combined in sealed microcosm tests. Measurements indicated complete removal of lactate in the first 12 days of incubation. Propionate and acetate were produced and slowly degraded thereafter.
