BIOCHLOR is a screening model that simulates remediation by natural attenuation of dissolved solvents at chlorinated solvent release sites.
BIOCHLOR includes three different model types:
- Solute transport without decay
- Solute transport with biotransformation modeled as a sequential first-order decay process
- Solute transport with biotransformation modeled as a sequential first-order decay process with two different reaction zones (i. e. , each zone has a different set of rate coefficient values)
- The software, programmed in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet environment and based on the
- Domenico analytical solute transport model, has the ability to simulate one-dimensional advection, three-dimensional dispersion, linear adsorption, and biotransformation via reductive dechlorination (the dominant biotransformation process at most chlorinated solvent sites).
- Reductive dechlorination is assumed to occur under anaerobic conditions and dissolved solvent degradation is assumed to follow a sequential first-order decay process.
