A Risk Based Approach to the Potential for CCGT Enclosure Explosions: A Study on Teesside Power Station

The potential for an explosion inside a Gas Turbine Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant or a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant enclosure from a fuel leak has been widely addressed in the industry and reviewed at a number of seminars. Enron, the Teesside Power Station operators, contracted Eutech to undertake a study into the explosion potential inside the gas turbine (GT) enclosure and to recommend solutions to achieve an acceptable level of risk.
