Chapter 7 Thermomechanical pulping the short retention time at the temperature peak in the refining zone. This short retention is the short retention time at the temperature peak in the refining zone. This short retention is caused by the high centrifugal force in high-speed operations. Table 8 gives some pulp caused by the high centrifugal force in high-speed operations. Table 8 gives some pulp properties from the first commercial RTS operation. The operating experience suggests that an properties from the first commercial RTS operation. The operating experience suggests that an energy reduction in the order of 15% is possible using this system. energy reduction in the order of 15% is possible using this system. Table 8.
