Refiners — TMP General approach Today almost all thermomechanical pulping (TMP) is produced with disc refiners or disc refiners with a conical section. The conical refiners produce long-fibre pulp at a higher level of energy consumption. There are two main types of disc refiner: single-disc (SD) and double-disc (DD) refiners. The SD refiners consist of
