Dr. Keni Zhang, author of TOUGH2-MP
Principal Consultant
Director of Groundwater Modeling Services
ADvTECH's Project Team
Members welcomes the partnership with Dr. Keni Zhang,
currently with the Hydrogeology Department at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), author of
TOUGH2-MP - a general purpose numerical
simulation program for large-scale, multi-component,
multi-phase fluid and heat flow simulation in porous and
fractured media. Dr. Zhang has developed parallel
computing codes capable of addressing multi-million
gridblock models for the study of groundwater flow and
contaminant transport in saturated and unsaturated
porous and fractured media. Dr Zhang brings to
ADvTECH the highest level of soil and groundwater
computing technology in addressing everyday problems.
The most recent developments are part of the TOUGH
FAMILY of codes for applications by the laboratory for
geothermal reservoir engineering, nuclear waste
disposal, and saturated and unsaturated zone hydrology.

Dr. Keni Zhang received his M.Sc. in Hydrological
Engineering at the International Institute for Hydraulic
and Environmental Engineering, Delft, Netherlands in
1996, and Ph.D., in Groundwater Hydrology from the
University of Manitoba in 2000. Dr. Zhang's
strengths are in the specialized field of numerical
simulation and groundwater flow and contaminant
transport, wherein he is the primary author on the
development and improvement of TOUGH2_MP,
a parallel
multiphase fluid flow and heat flow simulator. The
code extends TOUGH2 modeling capability for nuclear
waste disposal, CO2 geological sequestration, gas
hydrate, and other multi-phase flow simulations to a
level that previous single CPU version codes are unable
to achieve.
With his on-going work at LBNL, some immediate
achievements by Dr. Zhang are:
-
Working on large-scale simulations
for fluid
flow, gas flow, heat flow, and contaminant transport for
the Yucca Mountain project. One of the key members
of the group for the unsaturated zone models. Conducted
fundamental research, including development of new
approaches on flow focusing and damping effect studies
for the unsaturated zone at the site. Successfully
developed discrete-fracture approaches for flow focusing
study.
- Investigating CO2 convection phenomena in saline aquifers,
and modeling studies for CO2 geological sequestration
for the
Frio Brine
Pilot, large-scale simulations for CO2 geological
sequestration influence on regional groundwater system.
- Developed
parallel version TOUGH2 code (named TOUGH2-MP) for
large-scale simulation of multiphase fluid and heat
flow.

RESEARCH
& DEVELOPMENT
ADvTECH's Project Team Members continue to seek
opportunities and funding under the Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) programs administered by a variety of
governmental agencies. ADvTECH is currently
seeking opportunities with both private-sector industry
and Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Laboratories
for collaborative or joint research projects for the
development of innovative site characterization and
predictive analysis tools. On-going discussions
for research opportunities tap into a
multi-disciplinary team of experts in the fields of
3-dimensional (3-D) seismic imaging, and
contaminant-source reconstruction using 3-D plume
analysis via groundwater flow and fate & transport
modeling.
In
collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
and under a Phase I STTR solicitation offered through
U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, ADvTECH
staff members are engaged in pursuing the development of
a parallel code version of a high performance
reactive transport numerical simulator for a
3-dimensional, fully implicit model that solves large,
sparse linear systems arising from discretization of
partial differential equations for mass and energy
balance in a porous or fractured media. Our
interest is the further development of geochemical and
biogeochemical phenomena in a "leadership
class" computer simulator that treats the
environment as an open biogeochemical reactor where
chemical change is driven by the interactions between
migrating fluids, solid phases and organisms.

TRAINING
- STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION!!
ADvTECH's Project Team
Members can provide training to your key SWPPP staff
members on the requirements of your SWPPP program.
The goal of this brief awareness training is to provide
site operators with a more thorough understanding of the
storm water pollution issues, with awareness being the
first step towards prevention.

STORMWATER
POLLUTION PREVENTION PLANS
Storm
water runoff is rainwater or industrial generated water
that runs off the land and eventually reaches our
streams, rivers, lakes and oceans.
When storm water runs through sites of industrial
activity it may pick up pollutants and transport them
into national waterways and effect commercial fisheries,
restrict swimming areas and negatively affect the
navigability of the nation’s waters.
To help curb the
problem of storm water, the Environmental Protection
Agency has developed a program under the Clean Water
Act. A
major part of this program is the National Pollution
discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which requires
permitting for industrial activities.
The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
is a major component of this program.
ADvTECH
helps
clients meet these requirements with the following
step-by-step program:
·
Planning and Organization
·
Assessment
·
Best Management Practices
·
Implementation
·
Evaluation and Monitoring
When
you choose ADvTECH
Environmental, Inc. we make every effort to
provide you with superior service by completing your
project on time, within budget, and to your complete
satisfaction. See what a difference working with ADvTECH
can make on your next project.
We look forward to working with you.
