Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Barro Alto, Bahia for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (1398 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


Barro Alto requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. For projects in Barro Alto that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. In Barro Alto, Bahia, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). Within IBGE mesoregion Centro Norte Baiano, Barro Alto shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. The refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde is 363 km from Barro Alto, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. FB Bombas application engineering serves Barro Alto with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 1398 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas reaches Barro Alto with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

Gear pump selection for Barro Alto starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid. Technical fit in Barro Alto points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Barro Alto, the baseline is austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. Before shipment to Barro Alto, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
Technically, Barro Alto shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Demand in Barro Alto is characterized by medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. A GDP of R$ 138 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (27.8% of value added in 2021) places Barro Alto's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Barro Alto demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Barro Alto, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the refino cluster, Barro Alto shares a technical agenda with crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Barro Alto receives equipment within 48-72h, with possible technical stop counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Barro Alto: 1398 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Before shipment to Barro Alto, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Barro Alto — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
Service to Barro Alto is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and original spare parts supplied at factory-direct pricing. On-site technical visits to Barro Alto are planned based on project criticality.
Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Barro Alto and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.
Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Barro Alto: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.
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.
It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to Barro Alto goes through our regular road operator.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Barro Alto for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods) with preferential conditions for national industry. The commercial team provides the product FINAME code on the technical proposal for inclusion in the customer financial plan.
FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Barro Alto projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.
It does. FB pumps for stationary fire protection systems follow the NFPA standard (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT's NBR 16704, requirements demanded in building and industrial projects that call for these certifications.
