Sustainable Water INFRASTRUCTURE Group
who we are
We work with public and private clients to solve complex water quality challenges and meet regulatory requirements. SWIG is led by three partners with over 3 decades of experience developing, managing and implementing complex water and ecosystem improvement projects.
What we do
Site Selection: We perform pre-project auditing of potential sites to locate a SWIG facility to generate water quality credits and estimating nutrient removal capabilities.
Facility Design: Our team designs custom SWIG facilities to meet your specific project demands.
Operations & Maintenance: We develop comprehensive operations and maintenance schedules to uphold optimal levels of nutrient and color reduction.
Credit Creation & Cost: We create water quality and stormwater credits at low lifetime costs.
Permitting & Construction: SWIG oversees all permits, construction drawings, and can manage complete construction and operations performed by third party to maintain quality control.
Media Supply: SWIG’s central Florida media production facility will provide our patented and proven media, with the capacity to ship nationwide.

BENEFITS WORKING WITH US
Treats Florida’s Worst Pollutants – SWIG’s treatment technologies, known as Phosphorus Elimination Systems (PES), and Organic Nitrogen Elimination (ONE), are extremely effective at eliminating Phosphorus and Nitrogen from waterways, the main drivers of Florida’s algae blooms and fish kills. These systems are able to remove more than 60% of Nitrogen and 90% of Phosphorous at a range of concentrations, and as a bonus can remove more than 99% of fecal coliform and other harmful bacteria.
Smallest Footprint – SWIG’s technologies have a comparably smaller treatment footprint as compared to many other water treatment technologies available – that is because of its very high hydraulic loading rates, allowing 5 to 6 feet of water to flow through its engineered media every day. That means significant amounts of polluted water are treated and rapidly returned to the watershed. Its small size also means that is deployable in urban environments and directly at pollution sources, allowing a dispersed treatment strategy that captures pollution at its source, creating healthier watersheds.
Lowest Cost per Pound – The same technologies are extremely cost effective, rating equally or more cost effective as any other technology in the field. That is without considering the cost savings from its small footprint, which entail lower real estate costs, and more community economic output as there’s no opportunity cost when compared to the thousands of acres of land other systems often require.
Local Partnerships – SWIG is always looking for local partners to keep its ear to the ground as to what are the real water quality problems plaguing communities.
