Vendor Information System for Innovative

U.S. EPA (1994b). V1S1TT Vendor Information System for Innovative Treatment Technologies User Manual (Version 3.0). EPA/542/R-94/003-... 

Cost estimates were prepared for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA s) Superfund Innovative Technology Evalnation (SITE) demonstration in June 1992. These estimates were based on vendor information and the data gathered during the evaluation. Cost estimates were prepared for the PACT-6 pilot-scale system operating at treatment rates of 500 and 1000 Ib/hr. The estimated treatment rate of the PACT-8 fnll-scale system was 2200 Ib/hr. For each treatment rate, estimates were inclnded for online factors of 50 and 70%. For the PACT-6 feed rate of 500 Ib/hr and an online factor of 70%, the cost was estimated at 1816 per ton of material treated. For the PACT-8 feed rate of 2200 Ib/hr and a 70% online factor, the projected cost was 757 per ton (D104585, p. 1). 

Order Systems. We expect to see dramatic innovations in order handling, both in documentation and in concepts. It is conceivable that customers, vendors, and carriers will be tied through communication devices into a common computer for the continuous exchange of pertinent information—as well as for the payment of funds.
