| Description of Services: | The Vendor Information System for Innovative Treatment Technologies (VISITT) contains technology information submitted by developers, manufacturers, and suppliers of innovative treatment technology equipment and services. The system can be used by hazardous waste cleanup professionals to learn about the application and performance of these technologies. |
| Data: | VISITT contains data on vendors of innovative remediation
technologies to treat ground water in situ, soils, sludges, and sediments,
including soil washing, thermal desorption, solvent extraction, bioremediation, and in
situ vitrification. VISITT does not include established technologies such as
incineration and ex situ ground water treatment. Technologies may be at the
bench-, pilot- or full-scale. Each vendor profile includes company information, technology
description, and applicable media, waste, and contaminants. Other information may include
unit cost, performance, waste limitation, hardware and capacity, project names and
contacts, treatability study capabilities, and references. VISITT version 5.0 contains information on 350 technologies offered by 204 developers and vendors. About 73% of the technologies in VISITT are available commercially at full scale. About 70% of vendors provide performance data. EPA's Technology Innovation Office has also developed a companion database to VISITT, called VendorFACTS, that contains data for site characterization technologies. For information on VendorFACTS, contact the VISITT hotline at (800) 245-4505. |
| Access: | VISITT 5.0 is free and available through ATTIC and CLU-IN
Bulletin Board Systems. VISITT is also available on diskette from EPA's National Center
for Environmental Publications and Information (NCEPI). Users are strongly encouraged to
obtain VISITT through one of the Bulletin Board Systems. VISITT 5.0 can be downloaded (2.4 MB executable file) from EPA's CLU-IN Bulletin Board System via the World Wide Web at this URL address: http://clu-in.org/pubibase.htm. Vendors can download the VISITT Vendor Information Form (VIF) 6.0 to include your information in the next windows release of VISITT at http://clu-in.org/pubibase.htm. For instructions on downloading these resources, contact the VISITT HELP LINE at 800-245-4505 or 703-883-8448. |
| Hardware/Software: | VISITT 5.0 requires an IBM-compatible PC with at least 640 KB of available RAM, 10 MB of hard disk space, and MS-DOS 3.3 or higher. It is available on either 3.5" or 5.25" diskettes. |
