Residual Hydrazine Analysis System

Residual Hydrazine: As discussed in Section 4.0 that dissolved Oxygen is dangerous from corrosion point of view. Uses of Hydrazine as oxygen scavenger in modern power plants are uite common. !n case of Hydrazine Analysis there a num"er of methods in this section a few methods will "e covered. Hydrazine Analyzer Description# $. Hydrazine measurements in power plants can "e done on the "asis of wet Chemical Colorimetric principle (analyzers of this kind available from suppliers like Rosemount), as well as by measurement of potential in electrochemical cellamperometric sensing (Analyzer of this kind available from ABB, Polymetron etc.) . %ach of these analyses involves addition of chemical reagent to o"tain the desired result. &he system

response time for hydrazine analyzer is in the order of ' to $0 minute depending type selected. . (. !n "oth the system there will "e Standard solutions as part of the instrument. '. !n case of colorimetric analyzers can "e multi stream) and utilize pump for reagent delivery etc. !n case of electrochemical cell type analyzer) reagents li*e +austic soda) to ad,ust pH ) are mixed with the sample through porous disc and a constant head unit is maintained to ensure re uired pressure.. 4. +hannel selection and cali"ration in most of the cases are automatic. -.

All these are controlled "y dedicated microprocessor for proper functioning of the system including all displays ? output as well as multi stream selection. Hydrazine Analyzer: Working Principles $. !t consists of an outside ,ac*et filled with Silver oxide or gel) in to which there is one ceramic cylinder. &here will "e Silver wire acting as cathode is wound round the outer surface of the ceramic cylinder. Sample is admitted from the "ottom of this cylinder. Aefore sending the sample to the sensor) it is necessary pass it through a constant head unit to ensure desired /ressure and flow. Bhile sample is admitted in the system) +austic soda C a reagent is mixed with the sample through a porous disc. 4rom the "ottom of the cylinder the sample flows out from the top. /latinum wire acting as Anode is introduced in the cylinder at the center. %lectrical path "etween two electrodes are complete through porous ceramic cylinder. &he measurement is temperature sensitive so) a temperature element is inserted. &he resultant current is proportional to Hydrazine presence in the solution.

(. !n some of the instrument sometimes use three electrodes. &hird electrode "eing a reference electrode which is *ept at a constant potential difference with Anode. Hydrazine Analyzer Working Principle( Colorimetric type): $. &his system is similar to the system discussed in connection with Silica) /hosphate analyzers in next section. &he sample along with reagents are mixed) after the reaction time is over the same is put in to the measuring cell. =easuring cell is placed "etween the 6%> light source 7sending light with wave length 4-054D0n=9 and photo detector. &he amount of light a"sorption is proportional to the amount of hydrazine present in the solution. (. &here shall "e separate pump sets for reagents and sample.
