9245 Single Channel Sodium Analyzer - Analyzer Overview 13
1 Analyzer Overview
1.1 Overview
The Polymetron 9245 Sodium Analyzer is a continuous on-line monitor for direct
measurement of sodium in power generation processes.
The measurement is based on a direct potentiometric technique using a highly sensitive
sodium glass electrode. The difference of potential between the glass electrode and the
reference electrode is directly proportional to the logarithm of sodium concentration as
shown by the Nernst law:
With:
KNa-S : Selectivity constant of the ion S
aS : Activity of the ion S
ZS : Valency of the ion S
ED : Diffusion potential (conductivity dependant)
The analyzer features low maintenance, automatic or manual process calibration and
uses a sodium-sensitive glass electrode together with a reference electrode to measure
sodium concentrations in a sample that has been previously conditioned to a pH > 10.5.
External grab sample analysis is also available for this high-accuracy analyzer.
The system consists of two integrated units, the electronics control section and the liquid
handling section.

1.3 pH Regulation
1.3.1 Non-Cationic Applications
In order to ensure the accuracy and the repeatability of low sodium concentrations, pH
must be constant and preferably maintained at or above 11.2 to maintain the lowest
proton interference.
The 9245 uses the injection of vapor of diisopropylamine (DIPA) to obtain high pH level
without sodium contamination. Using the siphon effect of the liquid sample column, DIPA
is mixed with the sample without using any pump or pressurized gas. A fine regulation of
the siphon effect is performed using a 3-way valve.
The pH is evaluated directly and continuously from the conductivity of the conditioned
sample in the cell. In the solution, the most mobile proton (H+) has the biggest influence
on conductivity. Therefore, by controlling the conductivity, its concentration can be
maintained constant. In addition, the pH is controlled from the conductivity by modifying
the gas/liquid ratio thus simultaneously maintaining a constant pH.
In temperature variations, the system automatically modifies the gas/liquid ratio and then
adds DIPA vapors to compensate the DIPA solubility in the sample.
If the sample is already partially conditioned by a customer system (e.g. with NH3 up to
pH 9.5 - 10.5), the regulation system evaluates the pH and adds the necessary DIPA
quantity to reach its pHtarget 0.2 and minimizes DIPA consumption.
The pH can be set to between 10.7 and 11.6 pH. The DIPA consumption is 500 mL/
month at 25C for a sample pHtarget of 11.2.
1.3.2 Cationic Applications

Instruments to be used in cationic applications are configured at the factory and can be
identified by their model number of 09245=A=1xxx (the 1 identifies it as being for cationic
applications).
Measurement of trace level sodium concentrations after cationic resin processes
requires an assisted conditioning because the pH in the sample to be measured will only
be between 2 and 4.
The 9245 analyzer uses a gas pump with no moving parts (based on the pizo principal)
to effect this assisted conditioning. The pump is controlled by the analyzers electronics
and works according to the amount of sample conditioning required. The flow rate of the
pump is factory set at 200 cc/min. of gas.
An exit tube ensures that any DIPA vapors not dissolved in the sample are recovered
and evacuated to the drain along with the sample.
In a cationic application, the 9245 does not use conductivity to evaluate the pH.
However, it can be adjusted according to the sample pH by a time ratio of the
conditioning valve aperture. A specific Tgas/Twater ratio is used for each channel in order
to minimize the DIPA consumption and to adjust a constant pH.

The usual Tgas/Twater ratio values are as follows:
Tgas/Twater
pH
Ratio
2 180%
2.3 80%
2.6 50%
2.9 30%
3.5 15%
4.0 10%
Refer to Sample pH Conditioning Check on page 37 for the procedure to select the
correct ratio in relation to the initial pH sample.
1.3.2.1 DIPA Consumption
The consumption of DIPA will depend on the values defined in the above table. With a
ratio of 100% (i.e. the volume of sample is equal to the volume of gas) the consumption
of DIPA will be approximately 90 mL/day.
The following table gives additional typical consumption according to the Tgas/Twater ratio
setup:
Tgas/Twater Consumption
Ratio (days per liter)
180% 6.25
150% 7.5
100% 11
80% 14
50% 22.5
30% 37
The instrument continuously monitors the use of DIPA. A warning alarm will be triggered
if the calculated volume in the bottle is less than 100 mL. A system alarm (and
suspension of measurements) will be triggered when the calculated volume is less than
50 mL.

1.4 Calibration and Grab Sample Processes

HUA recommend (as per ASTM D 2791) that the concentration of the solution manually
added should be higher than 100 ppb sodium. Measuring under this value is possible (10
or 23 ppb for example) but the lower the concentration, the higher the risk of
contamination. Accuracy can therefore suffer at levels below 100 ppb. Also, for improved
accuracy, any solution manually introduced should be at the same temperature that was
used for calibration.
For details on setting up and running these processes, refer to the sections entitled
Calibration on page 75 and Grab Sample on page 52.
Note:
It is highly recommended to have an electrode activation (answer YES when activation
is proposed) to ensure the electrode is reactivated prior to any calibration or grab
sample measurements.
1.4.1 Automatic Calibration Cycle
This process calculates the slope and offset of the ISE sodium electrode and the
reference electrode. It is based on the measurement of the potential and temperature of
three different samples, two of which contain known concentrations of sodium:
Measurement of a first sample of unknown concentration
Measurement of a second sample of known concentration
Measurement of a third sample of known concentration
The additions of known concentration are made to the overflow vessel which is partially
emptied to avoid any spillage. The volume of the overflow vessel has been factory
defined during preparation of the instrument. This parameter can only be modified by a
qualified service technician.
The cycle is as follows:
1) Phase 1: The sample to which the known additions will be made is measured.
This measurement must be stable and less than 10 ppb and becomes the
background point measurement P0 displayed on the analyzer.
2) Phase 2: The electrode is reactivated. This consists of injecting Sodium Nitrate
into the solution to maintain a high level of sodium measurement for a minimum
of 5 minutes.
3) Phase 3: The measurement cell is rinsed. The overflow vessel is then refilled
with fresh sample.
4) Phase 4: The overflow vessel is drained slightly to allow enough room for the
addition of the first calibration solution.
5) Phase 5: The first calibration solution of known concentration is added and
mixed with the sample. The overflow vessel is drained into the measurement cell
and the first concentration measured and displayed as P1 on the analyzer.
6) Phase 6: The overflow vessel is rinsed and refilled with fresh sample.
7) Phase 7: The overflow vessel is drained slightly to allow enough room for the
addition of the second calibration solution.
8) Phase 8: The second calibration solution of known concentration is added and
mixed with the sample. The overflow vessel is drained into the measurement cell
and the second concentration measured and displayed as P2 on the analyzer.
9) Phase 9: The measurement cell is rinsed. The slope and offset are calculated
and displayed. If the calculated slope and offset values are within the acceptable
limits they will be used for all future measurements. Normal measurement is then
resumed.

1.4.2 Manual Calibration Cycle

This process calculates the slope and offset of the ISE sodium electrode and the
reference electrode. It is based on the measurement of potential and temperature of two
different samples of known sodium concentration.
The concentration values of the two calibration solutions must be entered into the
analyzer prior to calibration (see Two Point Calibration on page 79). The lower
concentration should be greater than 50 ppb and the relationship between low and high
concentration should be 10 or more. The recommended low value is 100 ppb and the
high value is 1,000 ppb.
The cycle is as follows:
of 5 minutes.
2) Phase 2: The measurement cell is rinsed.
4) Phase 4: The overflow vessel is drained, and the system waits for the operator to
fill the overflow vessel with the low value calibration solution.
5) Phase 5: The overflow vessel is drained into the measurement cell and the first
concentration measured.
6) Phase 6: The overflow vessel is rinsed and then drained. The system waits for
the operator to fill the overflow vessel with the high value calibration solution.
7) Phase 7: The overflow vessel is drained into the measurement cell and the
second concentration measured.
8) Phase 8: The measurement cell is rinsed. The slope and offset are calculated
and displayed. If the calculated slope and offset values are within the acceptable
limits, indicated by the message Calibration ok, they will be used for all future
measurements.
1.4.3 Grab Sample Measurement Cycle

The measurement cycle is as follows:
of 5 minutes.
2) Phase 2: The measurement cell is rinsed.
4) Phase 4: The overflow vessel is drained, and the system waits for the operator to
fill the overflow vessel with the grab sample.
5) Phase 5: The overflow vessel is drained into the measurement cell and the
sample concentration measured.
6) Phase 6: The measurement cell is rinsed, during which time the measurement
value is displayed. After rinsing, normal measurements are then resumed.

3.3.1 Verification
Note:
added should be higher than 100 ppb sodium. Measuring under this value is possible
but the lower the concentration, the higher the risk of contamination. Accuracy can
therefore suffer at levels below 100 ppb. Also, for improved accuracy, any solution
manually introduced should be at the same temperature that was used for calibration.
This option allows you to verify the measurement

using a solution of known sodium concentration.
Note:
This is a measurement verification cycle only, and no
adjustments to parameters or calibration data will be
made.
First enter the concentration of the verification solution

in the VALID. SOL field.
Select START to commence the process.
The first step of this cycle allows the reactivation of the

electrode. The message SENSOR ACTIVATION is
displayed.
Select Yes to reactivate the sensor (this is highly
recommended for greater accuracy). Select No if time
is more important than accuracy.

The reactivation process is automatically followed by a

rinsing of the overflow vessel and measuring cell using
the process sample.
A progress bar (regularly refreshed) is displayed
showing the time remaining to complete the
verification process.
Flow rate and measurements are also displayed.
Upon completion of the rinsing step, the analyzer is

ready for the first manual step in the cycle.
Place the lid of the overflow vessel on the side and
pour approximately 200 mL of the solution into the
overflow vessel, as prompted on screen. Manual
introduction is complete when the sample overflows at
the back of the overflow vessel.
Place the lid back on top of the overflow vessel and
select OK to start the measurement.
The display switches back to the main measurement

screen and displays the measurement value.
The progress bar at the top of the screen monitors the
measurement time of the sample.
If you wish to abort the process at any time during the
measurement cycle, select Stop.
Once measurement of the solution is complete, the

measured value and time will be displayed against
verif. s. This should be almost identical to the value
entered in the VALID. SOL field previously.
The value displayed in gap, will be the percentage
difference between the concentration of the
verification solution entered in the VALID. SOL field,
and the concentration measured by the instrument. If
this value is too high, then a calibration of the analyzer
is recommended.
Once the cycle is complete, the analyzer automatically
reverts back to standard measurement mode.
Select Main to go back to the main measurement
screen.

3.3.2 Grab Sample

Note:
added should be higher than 100 ppb sodium. Measuring under this value is possible
but the lower the concentration, the higher the risk of contamination. Accuracy can
therefore suffer at levels below 100 ppb. Also, for improved accuracy, any solution
manually introduced should be at the same temperature that was used for calibration.
Similar to the verification process, this option allows

measurement of a sample of your choice.
Before starting this process, ensure you have a
sample of approximately 200 mL to measure.
The first step of this cycle allows the reactivation of the

electrode. The message SENSOR ACTIVATION is
displayed.
Select Yes to reactivate the sensor (this is highly
recommended for greater accuracy). Select No if time
is more important than accuracy.
The reactivation process is automatically followed by a

rinsing of the overflow vessel and measuring cell using
the process sample.
A progress bar (regularly refreshed) is displayed
showing the time remaining to complete the process.
Flow rate and measurements are also displayed.

Upon completion of the rinsing step, the analyzer is

ready for the first manual step in the cycle.
Place the lid of the overflow vessel on the side and
pour approximately 200 mL of the solution into the
overflow vessel, as prompted on screen. Manual
introduction is complete when the sample overflows at
the back of the overflow vessel.
Place the lid back on top of the overflow vessel and
select OK to start the measurement.
The display switches back to the main measurement

screen and displays the measurement value.
The progress bar at the top of the screen monitors the
measurement time of the sample.
If you wish to abort the process at any time during the
measurement cycle, select Stop.
Once measurement of the sample has completed, the

measurement value and time will be displayed against
grab s.
Once the cycle is complete, the analyzer automatically
reverts back to standard measurement mode.
Select Main to go back to the main measurement
screen.

9245 Single Channel Sodium Analyzer - Calibration 75
6 Calibration
Before attempting to calibrate the analyzer, ensure that you have read and understood
how to enter and update data fields as described in the section entitled Function Keys
on page 43.
Note:
The instrument cannot be calibrated until at least one complete measurement cycle has
been successfully performed. An attempt to calibrate the instrument before this will
result in a Not authorized message being displayed.
In order to obtain accurate measurement results, the analyzer should be calibrated on a

regular basis. Two basic methods of calibration are available:
Automatic calibration - Parameters can be set up so that the analyzer will
perform a calibration automatically on pre-defined days at a pre-defined time (see
Automatic Calibration Setup on page 80). This type of calibration is always done
using known calibration solution concentrations.
Manual calibration - The user can manually perform a calibration on an ad-hoc
basis.
Note:
Before starting a calibration It is very important to ensure that the Reactivation
Frequency parameter (see Reactivation Frequency on page 64) is greater than zero.
If set to zero, the electrode reactivation process will not take place during calibration and
as such the measurement results may well be out of limits.
Select CALIBRATION from the main menu, and

press the Enter function key to select it.
The calibration menu is displayed.

76 Calibration - 9245 Single Channel Sodium Analyzer
6.1 Calibration - Menu Overview
Fig 6-1: Calibration Menu
6.2 Start Calibration
Select the START CALIBRATION option to

calibrate the analyzer manually.
6.2.1 Calibrate Known Addition
Select the CAL.KNOWN ADDITION option to

calibrate the analyzer by mixing the sample with
a known concentration of calibration solution.
The concentration of the calibration solution is
defined in Automatic Calibration Setup on
page 80.
The instrument first checks that the volume of
calibration solution remaining is enough. If not, a
warning alarm is activated and the instrument
returns to normal measurement with the original
parameters.

If the volume of solution is OK, the background

point measurement (P0) to be used as the base
measurement value is taken. This is the
measurement against the sample before any
additions of the calibration solution have been
made.
A progress bar is displayed showing the
progress to date and approximate time
remaining.
The instrument waits for a stable measurement
(variation less than 1 mV per minute) or for a
maximum of 10 minutes.
The measurement must be stable and less than

1 per thousand of the calibration solution
concentration, otherwise the instrument returns
to normal measurement with the original
parameters. Provided the measurement is OK,
the P0 measurement details are displayed on
screen.
If the reactivation frequency parameter is not
zero (as is highly recommended), the electrode
will be reactivated.
When the reactivation process is complete, the

overflow vessel is rinsed to remove all traces of
sample.
After rinsing, the overflow vessel is re-filled with

sample plus 2mL of the calibration solution.
The sample is then measured and the details
displayed against P1.

When the measurement is stable, the details are

displayed at the top of the screen against
measurement P1.
The overflow vessel is then rinsed and re-filled
with sample plus 20mL of the calibration
solution.
This sample is then measured and the details
displayed against P2.
Once the final measurement is stable, the offset

and slope for this calibration are calculated.
The default values of the offset and slope are
displayed along with the calculated values for
the last and current calibration.
A message is displayed indicating the success
or failure of the calibration.
For the details on how this success or failure
condition is determined, and how to proceed,
see the description in Calibration Results on
page 81.
6.2.2 One Point Calibration
Select the MAN.OFFSET CAL option to start the

one point calibration process.
This process requires that a calibration solution
of known sodium concentration is available.
The recommended minimum concentration is
100 ppb.
If necessary, enter the concentration of the

calibration solution, and select START to initiate
the calibration process.
Then, provided the reactivation frequency
parameter is not zero (as is highly
recommended), the electrode is reactivated.
On completion this is followed by a rinsing of the
overflow vessel.

When prompted, fill the overflow vessel with the

calibration solution select OK to start the
measurement.
The calibration solution is measured and the

results displayed.
Once the final measurement is stable, the offset
for the calibration is calculated.
The success or failure screen is then displayed
(see examples in Calibration Results on
page 81).
6.2.3 Two Point Calibration
Select the MAN.OFFSET+SLOPE CAL option

to start the two point calibration process.
This process requires that two calibration
solutions of known sodium concentrations are
available.
The recommended low concentration is 100 ppb
and the high is 1000 ppb.
If necessary, enter the concentrations of the

calibration solution, and select START to initiate
the calibration process.
Then, provided the reactivation frequency
parameter is not zero (as is highly
recommended), the electrode is reactivated.
On completion this is followed by a rinsing of the
overflow vessel.
The process is then very similar to the one-point
calibration above, except after the instrument
measures the low value calibration solution, the
overflow vessel will be rinsed and you will be
asked to fill it with the high value calibration
solution.
The success or failure screen is then displayed
(see examples in Calibration Results on
page 81).

6.3 Automatic Calibration Setup
Select the AUTO. CAL. SETUP option to access

its sub-menu and set the calibration parameters.
This allows the analyzer to be automatically
calibrated at pre-defined and regular intervals.
The process is the same as described in
Calibrate Known Addition on page 76 except it
is initiated automatically at the pre-defined time.
Turn the automatic calibration on or off by

selecting Yes or No as appropriate.
Note that even if this is set to Yes, it is still
possible to calibrate the analyzer manually if
required.
CAL.SOL defines the concentration of the

calibration solution.
MODE can either be set up to a fixed date or to
a specified frequency.
If the mode is set to fixed date, enter the day(s)
of the WEEK when the calibration will be
performed. Set the day to an asterisk to skip that
day.
Set the HOUR field (HH:MM:SS format on a 24
hour clock) to the time the automatic calibration
should start.
In the illustration left, a calibration is set to start
on a fixed time scale and will begin every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 19:30 in the
evening.
If the mode is set to frequency, then the week
and hour data fields will be replaced by a TIME
PERIOD field. Enter the calibration frequency in
hours into this field.

6.4 Calibration Results

After the slope and offset have been calculated, the default parameters, last calibration
details and current calibration details are displayed, along with a Calibration ok or
Calibration error message.
The criteria for accepting or rejecting the calibration is as follows:
The slope must be within 10% of the standard slope
The offset must be within 59 mV from the reference point
If the calibration is accepted, the parameters are updated and the instrument returns to
the normal measurement mode after a short delay.
If the calibration is rejected an alarm is set and the parameters remain unchanged. After
a short delay the analyzer returns to the normal measurement mode.
For details of the calibration results, select the calibration loggings option as described
below.
6.5 Calibration Loggings
Select the CALIBRATION LOGGINGS option to

view historical information about previous
calibrations.
The screen will list the following information

about previous calibrations:
Date and time.
Whether the calibration was automatic or
manual.

Use the Arrow key to scroll through the data.

6.6 Custom Adjustment
Where the analyzer displays values that are

slightly above or below the expected value, the
CUSTOM.ADJ option can be used to manually
adjust the measurement value.
Enter a positive or negative value which will be
added to the measurement value.
This option can only be used to make minor
adjustments. The allowable adjustment value is
between -0.1 ppb and +0.1 ppb.
If the displayed and expected values differ
significantly, the analyzer should be recalibrated.
6.7 Temperature Calibration
Select the TEMPERATURE CALIB. option to

calibrate the temperature electrode.
The measured temperature reading is displayed

in the raw temp field.
Take a temperature reading with a certified
thermometer and press OK to continue.
Then enter this temperature reading into the
CAL.TEMP. field.
Press OK to calibrate.

9245 Single Channel Sodium Analyzer - Reagent Preparation 113
Appendix C: Reagent Preparation
CAUTION:
To familiarize yourself with handling precautions, dangers and emergency procedures,
always review the Material Safety Data Sheets prior to handling containers, reservoirs,
and delivery systems that contain chemical reagents and standards. Protective eye
wear is always recommended when contact with chemicals is possible.
C.1 Conditioning Reagent

Use of Diisopropylamine (CAS no: 108-18-9; see Diisopropylamine (DIPA) on
page 115 for MSDS) in the conditioning bottle is preferred.
A minimum pH of 10.5 should be maintained when measured in the central well of
the measuring cell.
Replenish the reagent every 3 months, or more frequently if necessary.
Note:
Careful selection of the chemical company supplying DIPA will allow direct connection of
the bottles it comes in to the diffuser cap. Therefore decanting may not be necessary.
The standard conditioner cap (G45 thread) fits on our bottles. An optional cap is available
that adapts wide-mouth MERCK bottles to the pH conditioner/bottle cap (see Spare
Parts - In Contact with Reagents or Standard Solution on page 105). These caps avoid
the transfer to the original bottle DIPA available from us. Other adapters are available on
request.
Monoethyamine, diethylamine and ammonia can also be used. Ammonia or ethanolamie
is possible but increase the lowest detectable concentration over the 1ppb.
C.2 Standard Solutions
For the preparation of LOW and HIGH standard sodium solutions:
1 g/L Na solution
1) Rinse 3 times a 1L volumetric flask (A class) with ultra pure water.
2) Put 2.543 g NaCl inside this flask and add ultra pure water almost to the line
delimiting the volume.
3) Shake the flask until the salt is dissolved and add ultra pure water the flask to the
line delimiting the final volume of 1L.
4) Shake a final time.
5) Store this solution in a plastic bottle (label & date), well rinsed before with ultra
pure water.
10 ppm Na solution
1) Rinse at least 3 times a 1L volumetric flask (A class) with ultra pure water.
2) Measure very precisely 10 mL of the previous solution (1 g/L) with a micro-
pipette or a glass pipette (A class) and put it inside the volumetric flask.
3) Add ultra pure water to the line delimiting the final volume of 1L and shake it.
4) Before transferring into the storage canister, rinse it well with ultra pure water a
first time and with a small fraction of the 10ppm Na solution a second time.
5) Transfer to the storage canister (label & date).

114 Reagent Preparation - 9245 Single Channel Sodium Analyzer
Standard Solution 1 (Low)

1) Pipette 10 ml of the 10 ppm solution into a one liter volumetric flask and make up
to the one liter mark with high purity water to give the low standard solution.
2) Transfer this solution to a storage canister, label it STANDARD SOLUTION 1
(LOW) with the preparation date.
Standard Solution 2 (High)
1) Transfer 100 ml of the 10 ppm solution to a one liter volumetric flask and make
up to the mark with high purity water to give the high standard solution.
2) Transfer this solution to a storage canister, label it STANDARD SOLUTION 2
(HIGH) with the preparation date.
It is not advisable to prepare static sodium solutions of less than 50 ppb because low
concentration solutions rapidly become contaminated and change in concentration.
The HIGH and LOW standard solutions are typically ten times different in sodium
concentration for an accurate calibration and an immediate understanding in slope
changes.
Any concentration difference can be used with the requirement that the HIGH solution
should be at least five times the concentration of the LOW solution. It is necessary to
have a significant change in electrode output to achieve an accurate calibration.
C.3 Automatic Calibration Solution (10 ppm Na)
1) Rinse at least 3 times a 1L volumetric flask (A class) with ultra pure water.
2) Measure very precisely 10 mL of the previous solution (1 g/L) with a micro-
pipette or a glass pipette (A class) and put it inside the volumetric flask.
3) Add ultra pure water to the line delimiting the final volume of 1L and shake it.
4) Before transferring into the canister for this solution (label C) on the analyzer,
rinse it well with ultra pure water a first time and with a small fraction of the
10ppm Na solution a second time.
5) If you have too much of this solution for this bottle, rinse another plastic bottle
and store it in there (label & date).
C.4 3M KCl
1) To prepare 1L of 3M KCl, rinse 3 times a 1L volumetric flask (A class) with ultra
pure water.
2) Put 223.5 g of KCl inside this flask and add ultra pure water almost to the line
3) Shake the flask until the salt is dissolved and add ultra pure water to the flask up
to the line delimiting the final volume of 1L.
C.5 0.5M NaNO3

1) Rinse 3 times a 1L volumetric flask (A class) with ultra pure water.
2) Put 42.5g of NaNO3 inside this flask and add ultra pure water almost to the line
3) Shake the flask until the salt is dissolved and add ultra pure water to the flask
until the line delimiting the final volume of 1L.
5) Put 500 mL of this solution in the correct bottle for this solution on the analyzer.
