Multi-discipline Engineering Firm
Welcome to Tylosphere
Tylosphere is a project management consultancy and software development provider. We specialize in digital twin technology, which helps businesses transform their operations and achieve sustainable growth. Digital twins create virtual replicas of physical assets, processes, and systems. At Tylosphere, we recognize the value of this technology and are dedicated to helping you use it to gain a competitive advantage.
Tylosphere was established with the intention of combining over 25 years of experience in sanitary engineering and wastewater consulting with interdisciplinary approaches encompassing software engineering, automation, and renewable energy expertise. At Tylosphere, our overarching mission is to enhance the environmental sustainability of each and every one of our clients.
The founders and owners of Tylosphere share a unified vision and goal: to implement creative and innovative methods for transforming what has traditionally been one of the most energy-intensive industries into environmentally friendly and energy-efficient powerhouses. We are dedicated to substantially reducing the carbon emissions of our clients by hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 annually. In doing so, we aim to play a modest yet significant role in the global effort to combat climate change.
With an interdisciplinary team of process engineers/scientists, civil and sanitary engineers, mechanical, electrical and ICT engineers as well as geologists and software engineers, Tylosphere offers distinctive and specialized services in the following areas:
Consulting Engineering Services in Water Supply, Wastewater, and Sanitary Engineering.
Development and Implementation of Modeling and Simulation Software.
Project Development and Project Management
Wastewater and Sewage Treatment Plants often rank as some of the largest energy consumers in many communities. Tylosphere has developed tools to assess and benchmark current energy consumption while identifying straightforward methods to significantly reduce this energy usage. By devising improved operational strategies through model preparation and dynamic simulation, we empower operators and owners to realize substantial energy cost savings.
This on its own, holds significant value for all treatment plant owners and operators. However, we offer even greater benefits. As we develop and certify the current consumption benchmark, it becomes feasible to register energy reduction projects for carbon reduction certification. During the planning and design phases, Tylosphere collaborates closely with international auditors to register the project with relevant authorities for carbon crediting. The potential energy and thus carbon emissions savings are carefully assessed in conjunction with detailed design and cost estimation. Financing options are provided, considering the potential to sell the acquired carbon credits following project completion and validation. These credits can be utilized as part of the overall project financing or as a step toward achieving energy neutrality.
Achieving maximum energy efficiency in wastewater and sewage treatment is at the basis of a net-zero or energy positive treatment plant operation. Beyond merely reducing energy consumption by installing energy efficient aggregates, there are several ways to transform treatment plant into energy generators. Operators can offset their energy consumption by harnessing the energy potential of produced sludge through thermal energy generation with biogas or direct incineration. Furthermore, the utilization of available areas for photovoltaic electricity production can enable a treatment plant to transition into a net-zero or even energy-positive facility.
Globally, there is a growing number of success stories illustrating how sewage treatment plants can reverse their energy equation and evolve into significant energy producers. Should you wish to explore the potential for your own facility, we invite you to reach out for an initial consultation.
If your treatment plant currently operates using conventional methods for aeration, pumping, and general equipment controls, we can offer assistance to significantly reduce your electricity consumption and enhancing operational reliability.
In cases where bioreactors managed based on fixed oxygen levels, we can introduce straightforward and effective strategies to optimize your power usage. The development of a digital twin for your treatment plant provides an invaluable tool for in-depth analysis and optimization of plant hydraulics and process kinetics. This digital twin empowers you to evaluate and experiment with optimization schemes before implementing them, granting you a comprehensive understanding of the potential cost savings without compromising the quality of your effluent. With this insight, you gain a clear understanding of the return on investment before making any equipment purchases or operational changes.
You retain full control over what you choose to implement and to what extent you'd like to transform your operations. You can choose from a wide range of options from implementing only simple timer-based control settings to fully automated operations with a fully integrated online connected digital twin, you have a wide spectrum of options to select from, each accompanied by a transparent comprehension of the achievable outcomes.
Software-based project management has evolved significantly over the years, with a focus on enhancing collaboration, efficiency and workflows while reducing or even eliminating (unnecessary) reducing paperwork. At Tylosphere we apply new ways of managing projects using software-based paperless document control, submittals, and workflow in our projects.

Dynamic Modelling
Dynamic modeling can be a powerful tool to reduce energy demand in wastewater treatment processes by optimizing the operation and control of various components and units. By simulating and analyzing the system’s behavior under different/varying conditions, dynamic models enable engineers and operators to identify energy-efficient strategies and make informed decisions.
read moreCreate a dynamic model that represents the behavior of the wastewater treatment system over time. This model should capture the dynamics of the system and accurately represent the key processes, including biological reactions, hydraulic behavior, and energy requirements.
Utilize the dynamic model to identify opportunities for energy optimization. Implement optimization algorithms that can identify energy-efficient strategies by adjusting key parameters, such as pump speeds, aeration rates, and chemical dosing rates.
