Hi,
We are planning to do IPF review on our cogeneration project. But I'm just skeptical on the usefulness of the review? Anyone got something to share

What you've described, as Ashereng noted, is what is commonly referred to as a HAZOP. Yes, it is not only useful, it would be negligent not to do so. You'll need to go through all of the what-if's and permutations of what could possibly go wrong to make sure that regardless of what upset condition is imposed on the system,there are mechanism's & safe guards in place to prevent a catstrophe.
