Fine fraction refining obtained by µ-hole fractionation
- Pulp suspension fractionation into 2 fractions: fine fraction (cellulosic fines + mineral fillers) and fibre fraction
 - Fine fraction thickening with a centrifugal decanter to reach the necessary consistency for refining
 - Refining of the thickened fine fraction
 - 20 to 30% of the pulp suspension is refined: limitation in refining cost
 - Development of mechanical properties with a limited drainage reduction on the papermachine
