Currently, the issue of recycling coal waste becomes quite relevant all over the world, which is associated with tightening environmental standards and increasing production rates in the coal industry. So, to reduce the environmental load of effective coal waste management, innovative developments and implementation are required, aimed at processing, purification and disposal. The aim of this work is to evaluate methods for treating water containing suspended coal dust and to develop a treatment plant design along with approaches for pilot testing. A design of the plant for purifying water with suspended coal dust particles, a diagram of the interaction of elements, feasible technological solutions and options for the operation of the plant are proposed. The implementation of the proposed installation in the ports that ship coal allows us to evaluate not only water purification processes, but also measures aimed at optimizing expended resources and reducing the negative impact on the environment. The research results and technical characteristics of the proposed plant are discussed in the context of its application and benefits to industrial enterprises in the field of coal transportation. The water installation project can serve as the basis for implementing environmentally sustainable solutions in the field of water treatment and increasing the economic efficiency of transporting coal by water in the Caspian area. The proposed water purification plant incurs significant operational costs. Fire hazards in closed systems and coal dust pollution are still issues, even with the plant’s adaptable design.
