GEORGETOWN, S.C. — According to Mayor Carol Jayroe, the International Paper Company released a statement Tuesday detailing a malfunction which caused an odor throughout the city. “A process malfunction, caused by freezing temperatures, resulted in an acute odor that was detected near the mill in Georgetown. The recent freezing temperatures caused equipment disruptions in a piping system for pulping condensate (a liquid byproduct of the pulping process),” International Paper Company officials said. Operators repressurized the system resulting in a “limited amount” of condensate to be excreted. …Both the city and the International Paper company have said there are no current threats to public safety.
