A description is given of the development and application of a continuous on-line analyzer; a grab sample analysis program, utilizing state-of-the-art ion chromatography, to measure steam impurity concentration at various locations throughout the steam water cycle; and the combination of these techniques, in the form of a total plant survey, to assess total power plant chemistry. The significance and usefulness of continuously monitoring parameters such as sodium, dissolved oxygen, conductivities, and chloride is discussed, as are the validity of the sampling procedures, the utility of a nozzle to extract steam, and the strengths and weakness of ion chromatographic grab sample analyses. Finally, the implementation of a data acquisition system on the continuous analyzer, to handle the ever-increasing amount of information being generated by seven of these field systems, is reviewed. 3 refs.
