Hi David, Something weird is going on with my phreeqc simulations. Biodegradation will work if coupled with dispersion, sorption, and/or gas phase. It will NOT work if I take those processes out. The error I'm getting is that there are negative moles in solution after transport step 9. How can there be negative moles in solution if I have the line "If Benzene <= 0 then goto 200?" I've changed the 0 to 1e-30, 1e-10, etc. and it seems that phreeqc isn't even reading that line. Any suggestions? Attached is my input file (not deck!!):) Thanks a lot, Margaret Dodds
