Final narrative
An employee was in a control room while operating a digester machine. He noticed a blockage in the process vat and went to get assistance cleaning out the vat. While washing out the vat, the digester filtrate (a mixture of water and pulp) splashed onto the employee's hands, forearms, face, shoulders, and lower back, as well as into his mouth. The employee suffered chemical and thermal burns.
