Why municipalities choose ClearFox®
Modular, scalable, and minimal civil works
Systems arrive factory-tested and ready to connect, integrate easily on site, and scale for future growth or tighter effluent limits. They can be relocated if needs change, and they upgrade ageing plants with far less construction than a rebuild.
Market-leading operating costs
Our FBBR process technology is engineered for the lowest possible OPEX, with automatic operation and optional remote monitoring — important for communities with limited technical staff.
Electric or non-electric
From automated containerized plants to fully non-electric systems, we match the technology to the community’s power, budget and maintenance reality.
Guaranteed compliance
We give a process guarantee that your system will meet the required discharge values.
Built in Germany, proven worldwide
An ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturer with a track record you can rely on:

Flexible financing, rental and leasing
Flexible finance including leasing and lease-to-buy, plus short-term rental units, are available — see our municipal rental applications.
Proven on real municipal projects
We don’t treat municipal wastewater in theory — we’ve upgraded and built plants for communities worldwide:
- Compact containerised upgrade of a municipal lagoon plant, Germany: FBBR and lamella clarifier technology, minimal civil works.
- Municipal plant upgrade in Malta: FBBR and lamella clarifier treating 3,000 m³ per day.
- RBC upgrade in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: a ClearFox® C-30 modernising an existing plant.
- Non-electric municipal treatment, South Africa: combining existing settlement tanks with passive biological treatment.

The technology we supply
Every ClearFox municipal system is assembled from proven, in-house process modules — so you get the exact treatment chain your community needs, and nothing you don’t:
- Mechanical Screening — removes coarse solids at the front end.
- Fixed Bed Biofilm Reactor (FBBR) — high-rate biofilm treatment removing organics, nitrogen and phosphorus with notably low CAPEX and OPEX; our core municipal technology.
- FBBR Packaged Systems — pre-engineered biological plants for fast, standardised deployment.
- Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) — batch-based biological treatment that buffers variable flows.
- ClearFox® Nature (non-electric) — a power-free option for small villages and off-grid communities.
- Lamella Clarifier and Containerized Systems — compact clarification and the whole treatment chain, factory-tested and ready to connect.
