I doubt it's that, more likely a digester tank which is normally full of explosive gasses (pretty much farts, they don't call them digesters for nothing).

If air gets in and there's a spark, KABOOM. It's happened before at other plants.

I actually did some work at the Jay paper mill about 10 years ago, those places are dangerous as fuck.

Re: BREAKING! Massive Explosion At Paper Mill In Jay, Maine
Turpentine storage.... not enough flames. Turpentine/methanol are byproducts of cooking wood chips into paper pulp.

Looks like a pressure vessel blew.... Much at mills are steam powered. Tons of pressure vessels.

Pulp is cooked in a digester which is nothing but a big giant pressure vessel.

And, obviously, steam requires boilers and pipes. So, there is probably a powerplant boiler on site to power the whole mill. Boiler do blow up when overpressured.

Industry is unsafe. With the shortage of 'paper', bet the mill was pushing it 110% which leads to 'failures'.

Flour mills also explode for the same reason.
 Quoting: Elihua


And grain storage facilities. I remember one in the early 80’s. Went to my college class at Kansas university and there wasn’t a cloud in sight. A few minutes after the class started we noticed that the sun disappeared under the clouds and there was this massive round cloud expanding over East central Kansas.

Thought a nuclear bomb had gone off somewhere but it turned out to be a huge grain storage facility that blew up... creating a cloud that extended across the eastern part of the state. Grain dust. Kaboom.
