One of the proposed Received 10 August 2007 alternatives is a combination of a gas turbine with a heat recovery steam generator. This arrangement Received in revised form constitutes a novel approach which needs to be analyzed by a combination of engineering analysis and 14 October 2008 risk assessments to compensate for the lack of experience. Of specific concern is the high pressure fuel Accepted 21 November 2008 supply system. This paper describes the dispersion and fire analyses performed to better understand the risks involved in this arrangement and identify design improvements. Keywords: 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
