1. General Information
This user guide covers the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting for the WE430 Hydrazine
analyzer, which oers unmatched reliability in analyzing oxygen scavengers in feedwater, boiler
water or at the economizer inlet.
n Introduction
Analyzer the oxygen scavenger content at points in the steam/water circuit where dissolved
oxygen control is critical. Residual oxygen scavengers must be carefully monitored to prevent
costly overdosing, yet allow enough of the reductant in the system for metal passivation.
Excess levels of certain oxygen scavengers decompose into ammonia, which increases system
alkalinity. Ecient control of oxygen scavengers depends on maintaining a predetermined safety
zone. The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer optimizes the uidic design with the sensing technology
to provide accurate and precise results with an almost instantaneous indication of oxygen
scavenger concentration changes.
The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer meets all of the criteria for accurate and dependable oxygen
scavenger monitoring and more. The WE430 analyzer incorporates innovative technologies that
include:
• Premium electrodes
• Marquee help screen
• Pump-less reagent addition and dynamic calibration system

• Password protection:
• Security and peace of mind for your operation.
• Auto-ranging electronics with an easy to read backlit LCD display:
• Analyzer determines the best range.
n Application Modes
The versatility of the WE430 Hydrazine analyzer allows the operator to set the analyzer to read
hydrazine, depending on the oxygen scavenger to be measured. Refer to Section 3.1, Use of the
Setup Mode for instructions on how to set the analyzer to read hydrazine.
l Hydrazine Application
Hydrazine Measuring Range: 0 ppb to 200 ppb as hydrazine
In high pressure boiler systems, hydrazine is added to react with dissolved oxygen present in the
system and a small amount of residual hydrazine is left behind. The residual hydrazine ensures
that small amounts of dissolved oxygen that enters the system through leakage will be removed.
Residual hydrazine should be carefully monitored to prevent costly overdosing.
Excess hydrazine may also decompose into ammonia, which increases sample alkalinity and
attacks copper alloy components. Ecient control of hydrazine depends on maintaining a
predetermined safety zone – typically 10 to 50 ppb.

1.1 Principles of Operation
The sample enters the WE430 Hydrazine analyzer and passes through the inlet valve, bypass/
needle valve, inlet lter, pressure regulator, ow meter and into the restrictor tubing. The sample
then passes through the uid connector block into a reagent bottle and through a diusion tubing
assembly where pH adjustment takes place and iodine is added. The pH-adjusted sample then
ows back through the connector block into the reagent mixing loop where the oxygen scavenger
in the sample mixes with iodine reagent to form iodide. The sample then passes the iodide
electrode, reference electrode and temperature probe and ows into an atmospheric drain via the
diverter valve.

IM 12Y18A03-01EN1st Edition : Oct. 04, 2019-00
<1. General Information>
The above equation indicates that the measured potential varies with both temperature and
the concentration of the ion of the interest. In order to eliminate error caused by uctuations in
sample temperature, the WE430 microprocessor constantly updates temperature corrections
from data supplied by the ATC probe.
From the Nernst equation, the theoretical response of a iodide ion selective electrode to a tenfold change in concentration at 25 °C is -59.16 mV. This is referred to as the electrode slope (S).
Most electrodes, however, do not exhibit a theoretical slope. Therefore, the analyzer is calibrated
to determine its actual value. Two standards are used to provide information necessary for the
microprocessor to compute the actual slope and E0 for use during sample analysis.
Acid is added to the sample to prevent a competing reaction from occurring:
-
3I2 + H2O → 5I- + IO
Maintaining acidic conditions prevents the release of iodide which would cause high apparent
reductant readings.
The pH adjustment and iodine addition are accomplished by the patented passive-diusion
process wherein the sample passes through a length of tubing in the reagent bottle that contains
the acid reagent and iodine. The reagent and iodine diuse through the tube wall and mix with
the sample. This passive method eliminates sample contamination problems due to reagent
contamination and makes the uid handling apparatus simple and reliable.

1.2 Principles of Calibration
1-4
Calibration procedures for analytical instruments are important and must be performed carefully.
The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer uses a dynamic two point calibration that utilizes advanced
electrode technology in combination with a dynamic calibrator.
1.2.1 Dynamic Two Point Calibration (DYN)
The dynamic two point calibration procedure provides maximum calibration accuracy and
requires the use of the dynamic calibrator. In addition to calculating the Eo value of the electrode,
as is done in an oine calibration procedure, this procedure determines electrode slope. To
perform a dynamic two point calibration, the WE430 analyzer is rst connected to a reductantfree sample stream. An appropriate diluted standard is prepared and then a syringe is lled
with the diluted standard and mounted on the calibrator. The calibrator is then mounted near
the analyzer and the syringe tubing is connected to the standard injection port. By adjusting the
calibrator pump settings, two dierent ow rates produce two known standards that are diluted
into the sample background. By pressing the appropriate keys on the analyzer when prompted,
the analyzer’s microprocessor completes the calibration. After allowing approximately 30 minutes
for the calibration solution to be ushed from the system, the WE430 analyzer can begin sample
measurement again.
1.2.2 Oine Calibration
In addition to a dynamic two point calibration, an oine calibration can be performed with
some oxygen scavengers. Since the oxygen scavenger concentration in feedwater is normally
controlled over a rather narrow range, usually an oine calibration procedure is sucient to
provide accurate results. The oine calibration procedure has the advantage of being quick and
easy to perform. If sample reductant concentrations are expected to vary widely from day to day
or if online verication of analyzer readings is desired, a dynamic two point calibration should be
performed.
The oine calibration feature of the WE430 analyzer allows the operator to adjust the analyzer to
values determined by alternate methods used in their laboratory such as a standard colorimetric
method.
IM 12Y18A03-01EN1st Edition : Oct. 04, 2019-00
<1. General Information>
The oine calibration is essentially a one point calibration. To perform an oine calibration, a
sample is taken from the bypass of the analyzer; the sample concentration value is stored in
memory; the sample is analyzed by an alternate method of choice; the previously stored reading
is adjusted to the lab method result; and the analyzer is then returned to the analysis mode. The
term “oine calibration” refers only to the fact that a sample from WE430 analyzer bypass is
taken “oine” for laboratory analysis; in fact, no downtime is experienced during the procedure
and the analyzer remains online throughout.

2.8 Installation of a New Reference Electrode
WARNING
Turn o the air pump prior to removing the reference electrode lling solution bottle. If the air
pump is left on, it will spatter lling solution as the bottle is removed.
1. Unpack the reference electrode (Part number: K9705CH) from the shipping box.
2. Carefully remove the protective caps from the bottom and sidearm of the reference
electrode. Save the caps for future storage of the electrode.

3. Shake out as much of the ll solution as possible through the sidearm. Drain the ll solution
through the sidearm or use a pipet or syringe.
4. While passing the 1/8 inch tubing into electrode sidearm, slide the 1/4 inch tubing over the
sidearm. The outside tubing should extend 3/8 to 1/2 inches over sidearm. Refer to Figure
2.9.
5. Remove the cap and uid seal from reference electrode ll solution bottle (Cat. No. 181073).
Hold the bottle in an upright position. Check that the rubber gasket is properly aligned, and
then connect the cap end of the tubing assembly to the bottle. The 1/8 inch tubing should
extend into the bottle.
6. Hold the reservoir bottle above the electrode with the bottle cap end down. The electrode
should be horizontal with the sidearm pointing up. Gently shake the electrode to allow any
trapped air bubbles to rise into the bottle as the electrode lls with solution.
7. Dry o the ceramic frit on the base of the electrode with a lint-free wipe. Squeeze the bottle
for a few seconds. A small amount of lling solution should bead up on the frit surface,
indicating good lling solution ow. If no moisture is visible, the electrode is clogged and
should be cleaned or replaced.
8. Invert the electrolyte bottle and snap it into the clip. Refer to Figure 2.10. Locate the
discharge tube of the air pump on the uidics panel. The end of the tubing has a hollow
push pin for pressurizing the reference reservoir. Puncture the base of the bottle with the
pin and push the pin down until its PVC base abuts the bottle. Mark and date the level of
lling solution in the reservoir. The electrolyte solution will begin to ow into the reference
electrode.
