    completed that day, a blanking plate was fitted over the end of pipe where the pump had been removed. That evening, without the Process Malting Technicians
    knowing, and when Technician on shift drained effluent from the steep tank to effluent tank, the effluent escaped through the banking plate into the bundwall.
