Why wineries choose ClearFox®
Modular, containerized, and scalable
Our systems arrive pre-assembled, factory-tested and ready to connect — inlet, outlet and power. Installed in ISO sea containers, they suit outdoor installation, fit anywhere on the estate with minimal space, and scale as your output grows, so no investment is ever wasted. They can also be easily relocated if you ever move premises.
Built for seasonal operation
Winery flow swings enormously between harvest and the off-season. Our systems are designed to handle that variability and the pH swings that come with it, holding performance stable year-round.
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 winery 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 stems, skins and coarse solids before they clog your system.
- Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) — reduces suspended solids and organic load in a compact footprint.
- Fixed Bed Biofilm Reactor (FBBR) — a natural, chemical-free biological process with very low operating costs, ideally matched to the low COD:BOD₅ ratio of winery effluent.
- 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.
