Description
ClearFox® SBR systems offer a sustainable solution for biological wastewater treatment in municipal and industrial applications of up to 5000 PE (population equivalents). The systems are based on the proven SBR process (Sequencing Batch Reactor), which, thanks to our intelligent control technology, ensures high treatment performance with minimal maintenance. ClearFox supplies both fully pre-assembled SBR systems in concrete tanks as well as flexible retrofit kits that can be integrated into existing concrete or PE tanks. This makes the systems ideal for both new installations and the modernization of existing treatment plants. Our engineering specialists offer both single- and multi-chamber SBR systems, tailored to the customer’s individual needs.
How It Works
SBR process in a single-chamber tank
Filling Phase: Wastewater flows into the biological reactor. An automatic level sensor monitors the inflow and adjusts the cycle times accordingly.
Aeration and Treatment Phase: In the SBR reactor, the wastewater is aerated using fine-bubble membrane diffusers. This supplies oxygen to the microorganisms that enables biological treatment. Aerated and non-aerated phases alternate to support nitrification and denitrification, fully controlled by intelligent control software.
Settling Phase: After the aeration phase, the activated sludge settles to the bottom of the biological reactor and a clear water zone forms in the upper part of the tank.
Clear Water Discharge: After settling, compressed air flushes the air-lift pumps to clean and remove any suspended solids. The air-lift pump then discharges the clarified water from the reactor.
SBR process in a multi-chamber tank
Filling Phase: Wastewater flows into the first chamber, where coarse solids settle to the bottom via sedimentation. Water from the primary chamber is then transferred into the biological reactor using an air-lift pump.
Aeration and Treatment Phase: In the SBR reactor, the wastewater is aerated using fine-bubble membrane diffusers. This supplies oxygen to the microorganisms that enables biological treatment. Aerated and non-aerated phases alternate to support nitrification and denitrification, fully controlled by intelligent control software.
Settling Phase: After the aeration phase, the activated sludge settles to the bottom of the biological reactor and a clear water zone forms in the upper part of the tank.
Clear Water Discharge: After settling, an air-lift pump discharges the clarified water from the reactor. The system transfers the settled activated sludge back to the first chamber and the process starts again.

Each system is carefully planned and designed to meet individual requirements, ensuring a tailored solution for every application.
Advantages
- Reliable Operation, no Risk
The ClearFox® SBR system operates fully automatically. There are no mechanical or electrical parts in contact with the wastewater, significantly reducing the risk of malfunctions. The integrated control panel includes a wide range of alarm options to quickly detect and respond to any issues. Systems are designed in accordance with DIN EN 12566-3 or ATV-DVWK/DWA M-210, ensuring trouble-free operation for our clients.
- Smart, Efficient, Hassle-Free
Our system intelligently adapts to changing inflow volumes. It reliably handles both underload and overload without compromising treatment performance. In underload conditions, the system activates a special holiday mode, reducing cycle frequency and significantly lowering energy consumption. Also, we use clog-free, maintenance-free airlift-pumps for minimal energy use. This makes it ideal for seasonal use such as in holiday homes.
- Low CapEx and OpEx
For wastewater treatment projects (schools, hotels, residential, etc) the SBR equipment represents a highly efficient process technology. Market leading effluent standards combined with the lowest OpEx and CapEx makes the ClearFox® SBR an excellent choice for efficient wastewater treatment.
