Why paper mills choose ClearFox®
Modular, containerized, and scalable
Our systems arrive pre-assembled, factory-tested and ready to connect — inlet, outlet and power. They suit sites with limited space or fluctuating loads, and they scale as your output grows, so no investment is ever wasted. They can also be easily relocated if you ever move premises.
Fibre and resource recovery
Front-end separation recovers fibre as a raw material and prepares sludge for low-cost disposal — turning part of your waste stream back into value.
Low CAPEX and OPEX
No extensive civil works or permanent buildings. Efficient, low-maintenance process technologies keep running costs down.
Guaranteed compliance
We give a process guarantee that your system will meet the required discharge values.

The technology we supply
Every ClearFox paper 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 — separates and compacts fibres and coarse solids, reducing solids volume.
- Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) — removes fine particles, de-inking residues and colloidal substances in a compact footprint.
- Fixed Bed Biofilm Reactor (FBBR) — a natural, chemical-free biological process with very low operating costs for the dissolved organic load.
- Thickener — thickens sludge, raising dry solids content from 0.5–3% to 5–15% ahead of dewatering.
- Sludge Screw Press — dewaters sludge, reducing volume and disposal cost.
- Containerized Systems — the whole treatment chain, pre-installed and factory-tested inside an ISO shipping container.
