The method includes the steps of introducing the wood fibers into a revolving tub, and transporting the wood fibers to a first treatment manifold. The first treatment manifold includes at least one inlet port to receive a first treatment and at least one discharge port to apply the first treatment to the wood fibers. The wood fibers are treated with the first treatment using the first treatment manifold. The apparatus includes a revolving tub and a first treatment manifold, which is preferably installed in the revolving tub in a first treatment area.
