[Rhodes22-list] the smell of Port St. Joe ?

[Bob Keller]

Joe,
I think I can help you out.  I used to sell chemicals to St. Joe Paper back in the early-80's but that mill closed down years ago.  I thought it was dismantled by now and St. Joe Corp is now a real estate development company.  I also used to sell to a chemical plant in town that is still called Arizona Chemical.  Used to be owned by Int'l Paper, maybe still is but I'm not sure.  They take a pulp mill by-product called tall oil and fractionate it into various fatty acids for sale.  Shitty business, but somebody has to do it.  I suspect what you smelled was the Arizona Chemical plant who takes tall oil from pulp mills in the area (Panama City, Perry, Pensacola etc) and refines it into useable, saleable products.
