A biochemical device for purifying flushing liquors and phenol water in operation since 1980 at the by-product coke industry of the Moscow Metallurgical Works is described. Two-stage biochemical purification is realized when water from the recovery house, which goes through mechanical cleaning, is directed into a neutralizer and then into 10 stage-I air tanks where decomposition of the phenols takes place by means of phenol-disintegrating bacteria. The purified water is supplied to a sludge neutralizer. The removal of phenols and rhodanides is ensured up to a concentration of less than or equal to mg/1 and less than or equal to 1 mg/1, respectively.
