Status	Public domain
Description	BIOMOC is a 2D model that can simulate the transport and biotransformation of multiple reacting solutes. The program is general and flexible, allowing for any combination of biodegradation processes. A number of expressions for biological transformation rates have been included as options in the code. These include single, multiple, and minimum Monod kinetics and competitive, noncompetitive, and Haldane inhibition. The kinetic parameters can be formulated to simulate zero-order or first-order approximations of biodegradation rates. The growth and decay of several microbial populations performing the transformations is also accounted for. The microbial growth can be disabled, limited by biomass inhibition, or limited by the availability of a specified nutrient.
