Abstract:
BIOSCREEN is an easy-to-use screening model which simulates remediation through natural attenuation (RAN) of dissolved hydrocarbons at petroleum fuel release sites. Application: Three-dimensional contaminant transport for dissolved phase hydrocarbons in saturated zone under the influences of oxygen, nitrate, iron, sulfate, and methane limited biodegredation. The software, ... programmed in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet environment and based on the Domenico analytical solute transport model, has the ability to simulate advection, dispersion, adsorption, first order decay and instantaneous reactions under aerobic and anaerobic conditions that have been shown to be the dominant biodegradation processes at many petroleum release sites. BIOSCREEN includes three different model types:
Solute transport without decay, Solute transport with biodegradation modeled as a first-order decay process (simple, lumped-parameter approach), Solute transport with biodegradation modeled as an "instantaneous" biodegradation reaction (approach used by BIOPLUME models).
The model is designed to simulate biodegradation by both aerobic and unaerobic reaction. It was developed for the Air Force Center Environment Excellence (AFCEE) Technology Transfer Division at Brooks Air Force Base by Groundwater Services, Inc., Housten, Texas.
