Short summary
Groundwater contamination by heavy metals is a critical environmental problem for which in situ remediation is frequently the only viable treatment option. We developed a computer model for simulating such interventions, which includes custom reaction kinetics equations for the coupled interactions between the metal, the existing microbial population, and a number of possible chemical amendments. We describe installation and usage and present two instructive example simulations.
