Narrative

An employee was replacing a blow valve on a digester. The line was broken and was open for 15 minutes. When the employee returned to remove the two remaining bolts on the right side of the valve, the employee was exposed to black liquor from the paper processing line. The liquor came down and burned the employee's abdomen, left thigh, and both arms.
