	Contaminant Dechlorination Example

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

Plot of contaminant dechlorination - 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 showed PCE dechlorination with TCE and DCE intermediates. RT3D simulation modeled dechlorination as a reaction coupled to lactate and propionate fermentation.
