Electro-Static Precipitator

Manistique, MI

For a company like Manistique Papers, whose core values include a commitment to recycling and pollution prevention, new air quality standards meant rising to the challenge and choosing an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner who could get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Chosen to serve the paper mill's EPC needs, Boldt worked with Harris Group Inc. architects to design a rugged and efficient electro-static precipitator. The particulate-collection device was installed outside the end of the existing boiler house, extending it by 28 feet. The project required new stairs be built, which led to the precipitator roof, stack test ports and instruments in the inlet ductwork.

Through precise planning—such as linking equipment installation to routine maintenance shutdowns—and ongoing collaboration, Boldt was able to maximize efficiencies and take the project from the initial engineering stages to startup in a mere 28 weeks.
