Petroleum hydrocarbon releases into the environment have resulted in widespread groundwater contamination by the gasoline oxygenate MTBE. The distribution, mobility, recalcitrance, and potential health hazards of MTBE have resulted in a significant environmental problem across the United States. This study utilized a threedimensional numerical model to evaluate the potential application of a novel in situ bioremediation technology using so-called Horizontal Flow Treatment Wells (HFTWs) to manage MTBE-contaminated groundwater. HFTWs consist of two dual-screened treatment wells. One well operates in an upflow mode, with MTBE-contaminated water extracted from an aquifer through the lower well screen and injected into the aquifer through the upper screen, while the adjacent well operates in a downflow mode, extracting water through the upper screen and injecting it through the lower.
