PHREEQC COURSES

The courses are intended to introduce the powerful capacity of PHREEQC for modeling practical hydrogeochemical problems. Lectures during the course provide an overview of the important processes in water quality. Hand and computer exercises from the 2nd edition of Appelo and Postma's 'Geochemistry, Groundwater and Pollution form an integral part of the course.

In the course you will learn:

• How to model laboratory experiments, such as determination of exchangeable cations, oxidation of pyrite with surface complexation of heavy metals released.
• To calculate the dissolution of CO₂-gas and gas-mixtures at high pressures with the Peng-Robinson equation of state.
• How to model hydrochemical reactions during artificial recharge, aquifer thermal energy storage, in situ iron removal.
• To deduce reaction patterns along groundwater flowlines via inverse modeling, incl. data uncertainties, isotopes.
• How to model any type of kinetic reaction, such as feldspar weathering, denitrification via sequential Monod kinetics.

The day-to-day program entails:

The course fee is  € 1450,-- (+ 21% VAT, the VAT does not apply for non-EU participants, or else can be transferred if your institute has a VAT number).

This fee includes my book with Postma. It will be sent to you, as 'lifetime' eBook.
The book is helpful for understanding the details of using and applying phreeqc, and it is essential for following the course.

If you have the book and don't need it, the course fee is € 1400,-- (+ 21% VAT, with the above noted rules).

Max. Participants in the course: 12.
