How a Bio-oxidation Plant Works
Bio-oxidation treatment is a final step in cleaning excess process water or waste ammonia liquor that originates from coke oven gas produced during the coking process. In this process, phenol and thiocyanate are "eaten" (oxidized to carbon dioxide and water) by bacteria at a bio-oxidation plant. The treated water can then be sent to a sewage treatment plant where the remaining ammonia is "eaten" by yet another strain of bacteria and made safe to discharge into a river.
