Final narrative
Employees were restarting a digester after an acid cleaning. Hot liquor (300 degrees) was being introduced into the digester, but the valve to the acid tank was not closed, so hot liquor entered the acid tank and caused the lid on the fiberglass tank to blow. The hot liquid from the tank showered the injured employee, who suffered burns to the top of his head and was hospitalized.
