In Situ denitrification relies on the activity of indegenous or introduced denitrifying microorganisms to reduce nitrate to N2 gas. In this study, we investigated the fate of N2 gas produced during denitrification in an intermediate-scale flow cell containing packed sediments. Denitrification was stimulated by a series of nitrate and ethanol additions. Results show limited reduction of hydraulic conductivity in the aquifer material.
