Stronger Batches with Stinger™ versus Antibiotics
Meet Stinger™ Safer, More Effective Bacteria Control for Ethanol Fermentation.
ArrowUp’s Stinger™ Gel and S3™ Safety System work together as a game-changer for infection control in fuel ethanol production. This patented solution deploys the proven power of chlorine dioxide in a whole new way: safer, simpler, and more consistent than ever. Say goodbye to the hassles of antibiotics and hop additives, and unlock the full potential of your fermentation process with Stinger™.
What Makes Stinger™ Different?
Unmatched Safety (S3 Technology)
Stinger’s Safety System (S3) sets a new standard for plant safety. Our chlorine dioxide is delivered via a stabilized gel-based system that eliminates the risks traditionally associated with ClO₂. No leaks, no toxic fumes, no handling of dry powders just a clean, controlled feed of antimicrobial power. The S3 unit is air-powered and uses standard plant water, with an automated dose control that keeps your fermentation protected 24/7. When the job is done, the system simply rinses down the drain. It’s chlorine dioxide redefined for safety and reliability, giving you peace of mind while you maximize production
Superior Efficacy
ArrowUp Stinger™ Gel rapidly attacks and neutralizes a broad spectrum of bacteria (lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and more) that thrive in fermentation tanks. Unlike narrow-spectrum antibiotics, Stinger™’s chlorine dioxide chemistry destroys contaminants without mercy no microbial resistance, no “superbugs” surviving to spoil future batches. Your yeast stays healthy and performs at its peak, resulting in faster fermentation completion and higher ethanol yields. Trials have shown significantly lower lactic and acetic acid levels when using Stinger™, translating to cleaner ferments and greater output
Consistent, Stable Fermentations
Plants using Stinger™ experience far more stable batch-to-batch performance. By curbing infection spikes and acid swings, Stinger™ helps maintain optimal pH and sugar conversion throughout the run. Producers have seen up to a 50% reduction in fermentation variability, leading to predictably high yields and smoother operations. Fewer stuck fermentations, less down-time, and more confidence in every batch that’s the ArrowUp difference
Ease of Integration & Use
We know ethanol plants run nonstop, so we designed Stinger™ to fit right in with minimal fuss. The Stinger™ system has a small footprint and can be installed quickly, typically integrating into existing fermentation or propagation stages. Dosing is fully adjustable and controlled through your existing control systems – no manual metering or constant attention required. Simple equipment (no complex pumps or exotic materials) means maintenance is easy. In short, Stinger™ adds powerful contamination control to your process without adding workload for your team.
Patented and Field-Proven
ArrowUp’s technology is patent-pending and built on our team’s 100+ years of combined experience in fermentation and chemical safety. Stinger™ has been field-tested in real-world ethanol plant conditions, where it consistently improved fermentation metrics and overall efficiency. This isn’t just theory – it’s a proven solution now launching industry-wide. Plus, with ArrowUp you get more than a product: you get our commitment to ongoing technical support, lab services, and expertise to ensure you reap the maximum benefits from day one
