Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Araci, Bahia), FB application engineering recommends FBEI as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 96h to 7 days lead time.


FB Bombas serves Araci from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Araci, Bahia with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 610 / API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers) and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. The IBGE classification places Araci in the Nordeste Baiano mesoregion — an area whose industrial profile directly influences demand for rotating equipment. CRCC Petrobras certification valid in BA qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Araci in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE and FBCN series compliant with API 610 / API 676 and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Araci is served by the BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. Just 147 km separate Araci from the refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Araci requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Typical applications mapped for Araci include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. Araci typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Araci converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. 100% of pumps bound for Araci pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
The low fluid-complexity profile in Araci (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. refino cluster near Araci imposes a scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain pace — syncing equipment purchases, PM contracting and regional technical-team mobilization. Araci shows a high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). The fluid catalogue in Araci (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. The refino cluster around Araci concentrates applications crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. Use cases in Araci (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region.
Logistics lead time to Araci is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 1589 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Araci via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Araci logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.
FB engineers serve Araci for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Regional service from Araci — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Araci, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Araci plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Araci.
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Araci, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
