MNA Rate Constant Estimator User's Guide and Tool
This is a User's Guide and Tool developed under ESTCP project, "Development of a Quantitative Framework for Evaluating Natural Attenuation of 1,1,1-TCA, 1,1-DCA, 1,1-DCE, and 1,4-Dioxane in Groundwater." The MNA Rate Constant Estimator is a screening model that simulates natural attenuation of dissolved compounds in groundwater. The software has been programmed using the Microsoft Excel platform and has the ability to simulate 3-D solute transport that incorporates advection-dispersion, linear adsorption, and various transformation processes using a modification of the analytical solutions developed by Wexler (1992). GSI Environmental Inc. developed the software for It is designed to support an evaluation of MNA using BioPIC, but it also functions effectively as a standalone tool.
