Hi again,

I have tried to use the dtchem but I could not find it anywhere in the User Guide or the model code, even after doing an svn update.

Yes, it's just what I feared. I'll try doing just that.

Hello James

if you do not save chemall all the fast (not transported) species are
reset to zero , the solver will recalculate a new equilibrium at every
time step .. in fact with this fix you might still generate unrealistic
concentrations for some untransported species but since you reset to zero
there are  no further consequence and the code is stable , however it does
not mean that it performs a good chemistry ... I would try to screen the
to the solver inputs just before it starts exploding, and try to play with
chemistry step dtchem.. try to reduce it from 900 s to dt maybe ..
