OVERVIEW & CORE COMPETENCE
OVERVIEW
Dangerous and destructive single-cell organisms in waterways and food production ponds, algae bio-toxins in lakes and ponds, bacteria E-coli in sewage treatment plants and pre-harvest irrigation ponds cost billions of dollars in treatment every year – and this does not include the loss of animal and plant life by use of chemicals that have long-lasting ecological footprint (e.g., chlorine treated water, after being released into waterways, has 2~3 months of ecological footprint, causing adverse impact in our rivers, lakes and ocean).
Naias, on the other hand, is 100% green technology that leaves no ecological footprint other than an elevated dissolved oxygen level, which is always beneficial to our ecosystem, restoring the natural balance… and Naias works better than chemical treatment.

CORE COMPETENCE
Hydroxyl Radicals & O3 conversion to O2
Core competence of Naias is its ability to effectuate a large amount of gas dissolution (typically ozone or oxygen) in aqueous solution without any detectable escapement while generating Hydroxyl Radicals with ozone. As Naias produces >95% of <5 micron bubbles, the efficacy is >95%; hence, there is no detectable ozone escapement. As ozone (O3) infused <5 micron bubbles implode, each of those trillion-up-trillion O3-filled ultrafine nanobubbles creates Hydroxyl Radicals (core competence to Naias’ IP and trade-secret), eradicating pathogens. As OO3 filled bubbles implode, creating Hydroxyl Radicals, OO3 loses one (1) molecule, converting O3 to O2, oxygen. Naias proprietary process converts all O3 to O2. Hence, 2 statements of:
“Naias is able to disinfect and increase dissolved oxygen level simultaneously, effectuating a ‘holistic’ approach for a long-term resolution… while other technologies address ‘symptoms’ for a short-term gain.”

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
EXTREME GAS DISSOLUTION IN WATER:
Naias’s ability to effectuate dissolution of gas in aqueous solution is highest in its class in the industry. For example, 99% of dissolved oxygen meter in the market only reads up to 20 mg/L because most aeration technologies cannot achieve 20 mg/L oxygen dissolution. With Naias, however, a special dissolved oxygen meter is required, reading up to 50 mg/L with an optical sensor. Because Naias passes the 20 mg/L mark, the dissolved oxygen meter of “20 mg/L” is insufficient and of no use. So one of the requirements to be a partner of Naias technology is to purchase an optical dissolved oxygen meter, reading up to 50 mg/L or beyond.
COMMERCIAL GRADE OZONE CAPACITY & DISSOLUTION:
Most so-called ozone technology in the market claims using ozone (O3), but this is a misnomer. One technology makes such a claim with a “3 mg/h” capacity ozone generator with “no oxygen generator,” using atmosphere air which contains 25%~30% oxygen (O2). Ozone generators rely on oxygen to create ozone, converting O2 to O3 through corona discharge/ Aside from having a small capacity ozone generator, using atmosphere air with limited O2 will compound its lack of capacity to produce ozone to have any impact. On the other hand, Naias’ smallest unit, N-5, utilizes a “30 g/h” (which is 3,000x more than “3 mg/h”) ozone generator with an 8 LPM oxygen generator that produces>95% oxygen purity. Naias NB-50 model, for example, utilizes 240 g/h ozone generator with 64 LPM oxygen generator. Due to non-detectable ozone escapement with Naias’ >95% efficacy, no protective gear is needed for the Naias unit nor the operator. Naias is completely safe, as proven in over 500+ installations around the world without any incident, generating Hydroxyl Radicals. The construction of Naias is stainless steel and built to be impervious to ozone contact 24x7x365.
DAF – DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION:
A side-by-side 76 day test was performed between Naias model N-10 with a 5 Hp motor again the DAF system with an 11 Hp motor. Operating with air only (no oxygen or ozone, or any other gas) Naias outperformed the present market DAF system. While this was expected, the test proved with certainty that Naias’s>95% of <5 micron bubbles is far superior to the present DAF system in the market. The unintended outcome was that Naias used 55% less energy. As all wastewater treatment plant utilizes >50% of energy on the aeration system, Naias is able to save more than overall 25% energy usage in wastewater treatment plants.
The analogy between Naias and competitive product I can think of is internet connection. Whether modem dial-up or fiber optics, they both connect to the internet. When it comes to increasing dissolved oxygen and disinfection, Naias is like “fiber optics” while others are like “dial-up” – both can claim “internet access” but the quality and speed are drastically different.
ABOUT NAIAS SOLUTIONS
Naias Solutions is a US water-technology company, owner of intellectual property and trade secrets for a proprietary, unique gas injection technology that produces ultrafine nanobubbles with Hydroxyl Radicals to disinfect and increase dissolved oxygen level simultaneously in aqueous solution (i.e., water). Naias’ unit manufacturing is done in the US and also in South Korea, where work ethics and talent are at the highest level, with lower material costs compared to the US. The goal of Naias, however, is to find a qualified service partner in a local country to transfer Naias technology for localized assembly and light manufacturing, minimizing supply chain issues. The right qualified service partner will enter into an exclusive license agreement with Naias Solution as mutually agreed.
Along with manufacturing different models, Naias Solutions also provides consulting on Naias-based water-solution architecture, collaborating with other technologies, such as membrane, skimmer, ECR (Electro Coagulation Recovery), carbon filter, and others. Under “About Naias,” you will see NPWS (Naias Potable Water System) to Dairy Farm Wastewater remediation as examples of Naias Solution Architect, collaborating with other technologies to deliver “water solution in a box.” Further information is available under “About Naias.”
BUSINESS MODEL
To implement water solution, two (2) components are needed: water technology and a service company.
Water-Solution = Water-technology + Services
As an IP owner and manufacturer of Naias units and Naias based water solutions architect, Naias Solutions is a water-technology company seeking to partner with a service company to deliver water-solution and provide local support. To be a Naias’ partner, the crucial required element is an in-house qualified engineer to learn maintenance and operation of Naias. This is critical as Naias Solutions does not provide on-demand, on-site support; however, Naias provides excellent training and ongoing support to service partners, following the concept of “if someone comes to you hungry and gives him a fish, he will return the next day, but if you TEACH him how to fish, he will not return.”
After the initial training, establishing a strong foundation, Naias provides effective phone and live video support as needed to help service-partner succeed. With over-IP messaging such as WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Zoom, and others, Naias is always available to provide support to its service-partners – from mechanical issues to project analysis… from lab water analysis parameters to best-practice discussions.
Naias’ business model is B2B, similar to a “franchisor-franchisee” partnership, supporting service partners and if mutually agreed, transferring Naias technology for localized light manufacturing and assembly. In a traditional SCM (Supply Chain Management), Naias’ SCM is as follows, allowing each party to stick to what they know and continually improving respective core competencies for mutual success.
Why is training required
With the initial Naias purchase, on-site training on installation, maintenance, and operation is required. Naias’ partner may not learn everything at the initial training, but will have a sufficient foundation for phone/video communication support as needed.
Many people have a misconception, believing Naias is an equipment that is plug-and-play, similar to a washing machine. The difference between a washing machine and Naias (or any water-technology) is that a washing machine has the same water source (i.e., clean tab water) with one, single purpose of getting clothes clean by mixing water and soap. Naias (or any water-technology) is quite different in that it does not have the same source water as contamination varies from one body of water to the next, and the purpose of treatment varies from irrigation water to potable water to improving aesthetics, etc.
Here is a chart to see the difference between a washing machine and water-technology (Naias).
Due to variances in the treatment process, Naias takes a consultative approach with service partners. The training is not just about “technology,” but how to effectively approach “water-solution,” specific to Naias. For example, one aspect of training is not about technology, but understanding the treatment requirement and analysis, asking eight (8) crucial questions, of which here are three (3) sample questions:
-
1
What is the PROBLEM that needs solving?
-
2
What is the PURPOSE for the treatment?
-
3
What is the VOLUME OF WATER and how much TIME to treat?
A Core Component of Naias Training
This non-technology aspect of training is to perform proper analysis that is specific to Naias, and given the service company’s experience and knowledge of a specific vertical market, determine “go” or “no go” on the requirement. As Aristotle once wrote, “if you have power to do, you also have power not to do.”
How to perform proper PROJECT ANALYSIS is equally important as learning about the maintenance and operation of Naias. The training is not purely intellectual, but hands-on, learning about collaborative technologies and identifying the resources needed, including how to calculate flow rate and how long it would take to reach a desired goal. Like most things in life, “speed costs money,” and knowing HOW to calculate the “cost” of treatment with Naias is a critical aspect of training
Science is about converting money into knowledge… and innovation is converting knowledge into money. “Technology” training is about “knowledge,” which is very important, but equally important is “converting this knowledge into money.”
The training corresponds to the type of partnership formed, establishing a mutual SLA (Service Legal Alignment).
SUMMARY:
Naias Business Model & Training
Naias Solutions is water-technology company who will provide its technology to the service partner. Service partner must have qualified engineer to receive proper training… and the training does not end with “technology,” but proper application to add value. Emphasis is given to learning how to properly operate Naias under different circumstances as source water to be treated and the purpose for treatment varies from on requirement to the next. It’s like purchasing a musical instrument, like guitar. After getting the guitar, one must learn how to change strings and learn chords and notes (i.e., maintenance and operation of Naias) for the purpose of using 6 strings with chords and notes to make must (i.e., establish economic gain). Naias technology works, but learning HOW TO USE Naias to achieve economic gain is the goal.
Overall there are three (3) broad types of service partners that Naias seeks. The chart below provides a glimpse of SLA (Service Level Alignment).
