Dear Sir,
Considering a high pressure gas source in the slug catcher, I believe you must consider VCE as an analysis scenario for your Risk Study. Slug catcher connection flanges may rupture causing liquid leak (pool fire) and gas leak (added to the condensate that may vaporise). In this sense, a vapour cloud might appear in the surrounding area.
