FermShark is a vendor-neutral analytics platform for fuel ethanol plants. Drop in your HPLC, Ankom, and process data. Get yield insights, strain comparisons, and contamination alerts without vendor lock-in.
No more spreadsheets, no more vendor-specific portals. FermShark ingests data from any HPLC or Ankom system and gives you a single, clear view of plant performance.
Auto-detect and ingest Agilent, Shimadzu, Waters, and Thermo chromatography exports. Ethanol, glycerol, organic acids, residual sugars, DP4+ all tracked per batch.
Import Ankom data alongside your HPLC results. Track NDF, ADF, and crude fiber through the process for a complete picture of corn-to-ethanol conversion.
Pull temperature, pH, and process data from your plant historian or control system. Correlate process conditions with lab results automatically.
Set thresholds for lactic acid spikes, glycerol stress, stalled fermentations, and low yield. Get notified before a bad batch costs you money.
Compare yeast strains head-to-head across real production batches. Vendor-neutral performance data so you know which strain actually works best in your plant.
See how your plant stacks up against peers in the FermShark network. All data is anonymized. More plants in the network means better benchmarks for everyone.
FermShark was built to be dropped into any plant in a day, not deployed as a six-month integration project.
Drag and drop CSV, ASCII, CDF, or XLSX exports from your HPLC or Ankom into FermShark. Auto-format detection handles the rest. No manual column mapping.
Batch data shows up instantly on your dashboard with ethanol yield, glycerol, organic acids, residual sugars, and gal/bu calculations. Every batch, every strain, every trend.
FermShark watches for lactic spikes, glycerol stress, stalled ferms, and yield drift. You get alerts before a problem batch eats into your margin.
FermShark can be up and running at your plant in a day. Tell us about your operation and we will set up a demo with your own data.
We will never share your information or spam you. This goes directly to the FermShark team.
We will be in touch within one business day.
