Sodium monitoring for pure water

Follow sodium in high-purity water and water–steam systems with the 3S-NA analyser.

A sodium trend for your water–steam cycle

The 3S-NA uses a sodium-sensitive ion-selective electrode for continuous measurement. It is designed for applications including high-purity water production and power-plant water–steam systems.

Choose the sample points around the operating decisions you need to make. PMA can help review the concentration range, sample conditions and how each result will reach the plant control system.

Monitoring points

Choose the monitoring point

High-purity water

Follow sodium through the water-production process and compare results with the required water-quality specification.

Condensate and steam systems

Use a conditioned, representative sample to investigate changes in water–steam-cycle chemistry.

Explore application

Multiple process streams

Review a multi-stream arrangement where several sample points need scheduled measurement.

Measurement and integration

The electrode response is related to sodium-ion concentration. The 3S-NA can be configured for up to four sample streams, with automatic channel selection and a dedicated fast-loop reservoir for each sample line.

The manufacturer lists four 4–20 mA outputs, programmable relays and Modbus connectivity. Confirm the required interfaces, measuring range and installed configuration with PMA.

Before you specify

  • State the normal sodium level and the excursions you need to detect.
  • List the sample points, temperature, pressure and available flow.
  • Include sample transport distance, conditioning and drainage.
  • Agree calibration, reagent replenishment, alarms and service access.

Looking after your world since 1971

PMA supports the complete measurement point, from analyser selection and sample arrangements to commissioning and ongoing service. Bring us your site requirements and the results your operators need.

A question worth asking

Does sodium monitoring replace the other water-quality measurements?

No. Sodium is one part of the monitoring plan. Choose the accompanying measurements and reference checks against the process specification, and agree how each alarm will be investigated.

Let’s talk about your application.
