Abstract AMD Resource Recovery at Topper Run and Sulfur Creek Report Mark Perri, Ph.D., MBA, V.P. of R&D, Davis Technologies International James H. Davis, CEO, President, Davis Technologies International Len Lichvar, Branden Diehl, Southern Alleghenies Conservancy This project is for verification testing of the Davis Technologies International Corp. (DTIC) Advanced Cavitation Flotation Technology(TM) (ACFS(TM)) for resource recovery from Abandoned Mine Drainage (AMD) at Topper Run/St. Michael and Sulfur Creek. The focus of testing is to determine the quality of the effluent produced by the ACFS, the quantity and characteristics of wastewater sludge produced during treatment, the characteristics of recovered iron and other possible metals, and the approximate cost of operation. Of particular interest is the ability of the ACFS to recover the iron from the mine water so that it can be sold as a product to significantly defray or completely cover the operating cost of cleaning the water. Testing of the ACFS was conducted at the 4,000 gpm outfall at the abandoned Topper Run mine site in St. Michael and at Sulfur Creek in Adams Township, Cambria County, using DTIC's Mobile Treatment Plant (MTP).
