Pulp Mill Modernization Project - Lime Kiln, Pulp Dryer, & Bleach Plant - Cloquet, MN
SAPPI Fine Papers, N.A. - Cloquet, MN
The project included the installation of building services (lighting, grounding, welding outlets, etc.), 15 kV switchgear, 5 kV and 15 kV substations, cable tray, cables, and wiring for process equipment in the lime kiln, pulp dryer, and bleach plant areas.
Process Controls and Instrumentation also installed the instrumentation, the pneumatic tubing, and instrument calibration for the entire site, which included the bleach plant, pulp dryer, lime kiln, O2 delignification, wood room, evaporators, and digesters.
Completed in 2000
Rebuilds
No. 4 Tissue Machine Rebuild - Everett, WA
Kimberly-Clark Corporation - Everett, WA
This project involved electrical and instrumentation construction for the rebuild, including the demolition and relocation of old electrical equipment and installation of new wire, cable, lighting, substation, instrumentation, and tubing. We also performed testing, cleaning and checkout of all systems.
M. J. Electric worked for SW&B Construction Company of Auburn, Maine.
Completed in 2002
No. 1 Paper Machine Modernization Project- Alsip, IL Madison Paper Company - Alsip, IL
 The No. 1 Paper Machine Modernization Project transformed the existing newsprint machine at Madison Paper Company into a modern online lightweight coated (LWC) machine with online calendering, the first of its kind in the North American market. These upgrades enable them to use recycled newspaper to produce on demand either newsprint or coated paper.
M. J. Electric began the rebuild project in March 2001 and completed it one year later in March 2002. The project involved the installation of all the electrical and process controls systems for a new deinking system and stock prep system. MJE installed a new 15 kV power distribution system, associated MCCs, AC drive systems, and a new Metso (Valmet) Distributed Control System (DCS) System. A new Voith coater, calender, reel, and a Metso winder and roll wrap system were also installed.
During the project's outage from October 2001 through January 2002, MJE worked around the clock shifts with manpower peaking at 300 electricians in December. MJE electricians installed 1,300,000 feet of cable during the outage alone.
Completed in 2002
C12 Paper Machine Rebuild and Capsule Plant- Chillicothe, OH
MeadWestvaco - Chillicothe, OH
 The rebuild modernized the press section with new drives and instrumentation and added new coating capability to the machine. The project was completed in phases to taking advantage of monthly machine shutdowns for maintenance and to allow engineering to be finalized. The C12 Paper Machine makes carbonless paper, and the associated capsule plant provides the capsules (carbonless coating) for the paper.
Completed in 2001
Maintenance
Pulp & Paper Mill Electrical Maintenance Work
 M. J. Electric has been performing electrical maintenance projects at pulp and paper mills for over 15 years. M. J. Electric believes that pulp and paper plant maintenance is a fundamental factor in ensuring quality, long-term equipment performance. By doing regular electrical maintenance, we can help maintain mill equipment, optimize performance levels, and prevent possible breakdowns.
We employ on-site electrical maintenance crews at several pulp and paper mills across the nation. Our crews perform day-to-day plant maintenance and participate in scheduled and emergency shutdowns.
