Why pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers 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 facility 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.
Built to remove what biology can’t
By pairing biological treatment with advanced oxidation, our systems target the APIs and persistent micropollutants that define this sector’s compliance risk.
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.
Built in Germany, proven worldwide
An ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturer with a track record you can rely on:
- 40,000+ treatment systems delivered
- Installed in 50+ countries
- Treating 25 million litres of wastewater every day
Rental options available
Need a short-term or temporary solution — for a trial, a pilot, or a bridge before a permanent install? Ask about our rental and leasing service.
Proven across complex industrial effluents
We’ve engineered treatment for demanding, chemically complex industrial wastewaters worldwide, combining DAF, biological treatment and advanced oxidation into robust, modular systems.

How we work — from sample to commissioning
- Wastewater analysis. Send us a sample. Our in-house laboratory analyses effluent from any sector and returns a detailed report — analysis to non-binding quotation within one week, anywhere in the world.
- System design & engineering. We size the treatment chain to your flow, load, API profile and target discharge or reuse values.
- Manufacturing. Built and factory-tested in Germany.
- Installation, commissioning & training. Fast on-site setup and hands-on training for your team.
- Operation, maintenance & remote monitoring. Ongoing support and external access to keep performance on spec.

The technology we supply
Every ClearFox pharmaceutical 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 burden downstream stages.
- Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) — removes suspended solids, surfactants 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 for the biodegradable organic load.
- DiOx Advanced Oxidation — electrochemical oxidation for APIs, micropollutants and other persistent substances where the strictest standards apply.
- Lamella Clarifier — compact, high-efficiency separation of settleable solids after the biological stage.
- Containerized Systems — the whole treatment chain, pre-installed and factory-tested inside an ISO shipping container.
