Why distilleries choose ClearFox®

Modular, containerized, and scalable

Our systems arrive pre-assembled, factory-tested and ready to connect — inlet, outlet and power. They fit inside your production hall or anywhere on your premises with minimal space, and they scale as your output grows, so no investment is ever wasted. They can also be easily relocated if you ever move premises.

Low CAPEX and OPEX

No extensive civil works or permanent buildings. Biological treatment by natural processes means minimal chemical and running costs, and low-maintenance operation.

Guaranteed compliance

We give a process guarantee that your system will meet the required discharge values.

The technology we supply

Every ClearFox distillery system is assembled from proven, in-house process modules — so you get the exact treatment chain your effluent needs, and nothing you don’t:

  • Screw Screen — removes coarse solids before they clog your system.
  • Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) — removes suspended solids and part of the organic load in a compact footprint.
  • Fixed Bed Biofilm Reactor (FBBR) — a natural, chemical-free biological process with very low operating costs, well suited to the high organic load of distillery effluent.
  • DiOx Advanced Oxidation — a tertiary polishing step for colour, odour and recalcitrant compounds where the strictest standards apply.
  • Containerized Systems — the whole treatment chain, pre-installed and factory-tested inside an ISO shipping container.
