Final narrative
An employee had cleaned a vacuum belt dryer feed tank with steam-heated water, which he then drained out of the tank through the outlet valve at the bottom. When he disconnected the nitrogen supply line on the upper part of the tank, hot water sprayed from the flange for that line and struck the employee. He suffered second-degree burns to his neck, chest, back, legs, and arms, covering about 30 percent of his body. He was hospitalized.
