	Abatement / Containment		Supplier has the capability to abate or contain wastes or contaminated materials at a site. Abatement can be accomplished by removal or cleanup of the contaminant or by encasing and limiting further release of the hazardous material or chemical.
	Cleaning / Stripping		Supplier has the capability to clean or strip materials so the material can be reused or fed into the recycling process.
	Coating		Companies coat bulk materials such as powders, granules, or continuous webs.
	Collection / Haulage		Supplier has the capability to collect, haul or ship raw materials of waste between the customers’ facility and the supplier processing center(s).
	Crushing / Compacting		Supplier has the capability to crush or compact waste products or scrap for storage, contaminant extraction or recycling. For example, used oil filters or containers are often crushed to extract any remaining waste oil.
	Demolition / Excavation		Supplier has the capability to provide demolition or excavation to remove scrap materials, wastes or contaminated materials from a site.
	Destruction (Shredding, Incineration, etc.)		Supplier provides destruction of product or equipment as well as prototype materials such as automotive parts, television, computer, circuitry, etc. Destruction can be accomplished through a variety of processes such as shredding, crushing, pulverizing, melting, burning or incinerating. Destruction can include removal of any company labels, stickers and other forms of identification. The destruction of computers and electronic devices often includes the deletion and subsequent physical destruction of data stored on tapes, floppies, CDs, hard drives, or other storage media.
	Encapsulation / Encasement		Supplier has the capability to encapsulate, entrap or encase a hazardous material to contain the pollutant for abatement, shipping and/or storage purposes.
	Filtration / Extraction		Companies perform extraction or filtration processes. Molecular sieve filtration often uses a porous molecular structure that selectively adsorbs or rejects molecules based on differences in molecular size or shape.
	Inspection and Analytical Testing		Companies provide inspection services and/or analytical testing of processed materials, chemicals, or other products.
	Reconditioning / Resurfacing		Supplier has the capability to recondition or refinish the scrap, surplus, excess or byproduct material to bring it back to usable state.
	Recycling / Reclamation		Suppliers perform recycling or reclamation services, allowing scrap or waste material to be reused or sold for new applications.
	Research and Development		Suppliers provide research and development for new processes, process technologies, lower cost processes, or alternate processing steps.
	Revegetation / Land Conditioning		Supplier has the capability to recondition land through contouring and revegetation. Site reconditioning may include adding a layer of top soil and planting seedling back on the recontoured site. Strip mining and forestry sites are often reconditioned.
	Scrap Brokerage / Trading		Supplier has the capability to buy, sell, negotiate, trade and/or act as an agent in transfer of materials, waste or scrap between their customers and a third party.
	Site Cleanup / Contaminant Removal		Supplier has the capability to cleanup or remove hazardous wastes or contaminated materials from material or at a site. Cleanup goes beyond abatement, which may just encase and limit further release of a hazardous material or chemical.
	Sorting / Culling		Companies provide sorting, culling and separation services for materials, scrap, waste or used equipment. The sorting or culling process enable recycling by separating materials into different waste streams, culling out hazardous materials and segregating precious metals or other valuable components.
	Sterilization / Disinfection		Supplier has the capability to sterilize or disinfect chemicals, materials, surfaces or environmental media (water, soil, etc.) to kill or destroy any microbial contamination (mold, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, etc.).

	Technology and Licensing		Companies develop, license, or sell specialized process technologies.
	Training / Consulting		Companies provide training or consulting services for fluid processing systems.
	Treatment / Decontamination		Companies treat or decontaminate liquids, oils, colloids, dispersions, water, soil, building materials, waste, scrap, powders, granules or other bulk materials.
	Well Services (Pumping / Injection)		Well services include pumping water, oil, gas or contamination from the below ground to sample, bate or extract pollutants or raw materials. Well services also include injection of proppants or neutralizing chemicals to enhance extraction or abate pollutants. Pumping is used where sub-surface contamination has occurred on such a wide scale that excavation is not a feasible option. The pumping process prevents the outward leaching or spreading of the pollutant.
	Specialty / Other		Other specialized, proprietary, or unlisted processing services.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Run / Batch Size:
	Your choices are...
	Laboratory / Benchtop Scale		Typically, laboratory or benchtop scale means that processing capacity does not exceed a few pounds or a few gallons. Actual quantities vary based on the type of material. For example, laboratory scale quantities may be expressed in milligrams for nanomaterials and specialized biochemical compounds. Usually, one person can easily and safely operate laboratory scale equipment. This category excludes facilities whose function is to produce commercial quantities.
	Pilot Scale		Pilot scale is a small-scale production process that is larger than laboratory scale and used to develop a subsequent full-scale process. Typically, pilot scale quantities are in the range of several drums (e.g., 55-gallon drums) or hundreds of pounds or gallons; however, quantities vary with the density and type of processed material, chemical or product. Pilot scale facilities are better than laboratory scale facilities at simulating production processes and can be used for troubleshooting, improving and optimizing processes.
	Production Lots / Field Scale		Companies have commercial, production or industrial scale processing facilities. Typically, production lots are in the range of thousands of gallons or pounds; however, quantities vary by material, chemical, or product.
	Other		Other process scales.

Waste or Environmental Source

	Waste or Environmental Source
	Your choices are...
	Asbestos		Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral that was widely used a filler and reinforcement in materials due to its strength, chemical, insulative ability and thermal stability. Common types of asbestiform minerals include chrysotile, amosite and crocidolite. Chrysotile was the source for 95% of asbestos used industrially. When separated or milled the minerals breakdown in long, threadlike fibers. Asbestos causes lung cancer when the fibers are inhaled. Older pipe or thermal insulation in factories or buildings still contains asbestos, which requires professional abatement or removal.
	Auto / Vehicular Wrecks		Supplier has the capability to process automobile wrecks or vehicular waste. Wrecks often require disassembly and separation of part or materials
	Batteries		Supplier has the capability to recycle or reclaim batteries. Lithium, nickel cadmium, sulfuric acid and lead are common materials used in batteries manufacturing. Lead is a metal with a low melting point, a high density, and low hardness. Lead and lead alloys are used in balancing weights, radiation shielding, battery electrodes and solders.
