__NOTOC__The Naiade has been designed to remove bacteria, protozoa, viruses and colloidal parts from raw sweet water. It operates without the use of fossil fuel or chemicals.  The unit is made of tropical resistant poly ethylene. Its dimensions are 150 x 50 x 50 cm.The purification of the Naiade are: # a sieve to remove larger parts such as leaves, stones etc.# a 25 micron filter bag# a 10 micron filter bag # a UV light, which kills any remaining bacteria and viruses ===Suitable conditions ===The unit has been designed for operation under harsh conditions in grass root societies. Units can be installed, operated and maintained by people with no or little/low technical education or background.  {| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="none"|-! width="50%" style="background:#efefef;" | Advantages! style="background:#f0f8ff;" | Disadvantages|-| valign="top" | - Immediate use after installation <br>- Supply for great number of people <br>- High yield <br>- State-of-the-art UV technology <br>- Robust technology <br>- Use of re-usable materials<br>- Independent of fossil fuel or electrical network <br>- Alternative to liquid chlorine disinfection <br>- Environmentally friendly <br>- The use of a native speaking sales and distribution network <br>| valign="top" | - Dependent to solar energy, although battery system is standard <br>- Imported product; with possibility of local production based on annual turnover <br>|}

==What is a Naiade?==
The Naiade water disinfection unit is a spin-off from Nedap’s and Trojan’s know-how of large scale drinking water and industrial waste water treatment plants. The Naiade drinking water disinfection unit very effectively combines the potential offered by solar energy, UV light and battery back-up.
===Operations and maintenance===[[Image:naiade3.jpg|thumb|right|200px| Adding source water]][[Image:naiade4.jpg|thumb|right|200px| Protected unit in a cage]][[Image:naiade2.jpg|thumb|right|200px| The Naiade has been designed to remove bacteria, protozoa, viruses and colloidal parts from raw sweet waterpurification unit. It operates without the use of fossil fuel or chemicals. ]]
The unit is made of tropical resistant poly ethylene. Its dimensions are 150 x 50 x 50 cm.
 
==How Does It Remove Contamination?==
The purification of the Naiade are:
# a sieve to remove larger parts such as leaves, stones etc.
# a 25 micron filter bag
# a 10 micron filter bag
# a UV light, which kills any remaining bacteria and viruses
 
==Operation==
The Naiade can be installed in 30 minutes by local people without a
technical background. A step-by step, pictured instruction leaflet and tools are provided.
The capacity is about 3,500 liters per day, depending on the scale of organization.
The disinfected water fulfills the World Health Organization standards. Pathogen reduction rates up to 99,9999 99% are obtained in many applications. (More details are available on request). It is strongly recommended to use separate containers for the raw and disinfected water to avoid recontamination.
The unit can function at night using a car battery of not less than
37 36 amp/hr capacity.
==Technical details==The unit does not contain any moving parts except for the electro-magnetic tap. It is made of tropical resistant poly ethylene. All material as well as the applied technology is based on the intensive A supervision structure to guarantee optimal use in remote and tropical areas. The unit has been designed for operation under harsh conditions in grass root societies. Units can be installed, operated and maintained by people with no or little/low technical education or background. The estimated lifespan of the unit is over 10 years. Filter bags and UV lamps may need earlier replacementhighly recommended==Advantages==* Immediate use after installation* Supply for great number of people* High yield* State-of-the-art UV technology* Robust technology* Use of re-usable materials* Independent of fossil fuel or electrical network* Alternative to liquid chlorine disinfection* Environmentally friendly* The use of a native speaking sales and distribution network
==Country experiences==Naiade projects have been realized in Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Brazil, Surinam, Mexico, Colombia, Morocco, Senegal, Sudan, Mozambique, Madagascar, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Tanzania, Cameroon, Benin, Mali, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria.  ==Maintenance requirements=Treatment Efficiency=Both filter bags can be removed from the unit for cleaning purposes. After careful flushing these bags can be replaced. The life span of the UV lamp is 10,000 operating hours, nearly 3 years. The UV lamp can be replaced within half an hour by the users themselves. The cleaning procedure should be as follows:* Daily cleaning the PV panel for optimal energy supply* Regular rinsing or washing of the filter bags to avoid blockage by sediments or a micro biological layer* Regular cleaning of the glass tube of the UV lamp to avoid sedimentation. This highly depends on the chemical consistency/content of the raw water. A colored LED indicates the status. After 8,000 hours of use the unit starts giving warning for necessary replacement of the UV lamp, although the users still have 2,000 hours of use to exchange the UV lamp. After 10,000 hours the unit will not supply any water until the old UV lamp has been replaced.Replacement of the UV lamp can be done on the spot by just undoing four screws.The UV lamp is a standard industrial UV lamp. ==Treatment efficiency==
{{Treatment_Efficiency
|lab:bacteria=Up to 100%
|lab:viruses=>99.9999%
|lab:protozoa=>99.9%
|lab:helminths=Up to 100%
Based on UV light treatment experience using similar lamp systems, inserted in other Naiade units with different flow speeds, it can be safely assumed that there are no differences between the results obtained in the field and laboratories.

Filter bags and fees UV lamps may need earlier replacement. The UV lamp has a life of 10.000hrs or 3 years at 9 h/day continuous service. The filter needs to be replaced approximately every 12 months depending on TSS of influent/washing frequency. The back up battery (12V-50Ah) lasts 36 hours. Built-in electronics will register the used time of lamp and dutiesa light in front of the unit will indicate when the lamp needs to be replaced===Field experiences===Naiade projects have been realized in:
