Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Coração de Maria, 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.


Coração de Maria requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. The road network BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324, with BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Coração de Maria. Coração de Maria sits 43 km from the refining cluster centered in Sao Francisco Do Conde, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. In Coração de Maria, 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 API 610 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). FB Bombas application engineering serves Coração de Maria 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). The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Centro Norte Baiano, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. Cabreúva-SP → Coração de Maria (1517 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book.

For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Coração de Maria converges on AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Typical applications mapped for Coração de Maria include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. Coração de Maria 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 Coração de Maria, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.
Fluid-roster complexity in Coração de Maria is low — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. The demand profile in Coração de Maria reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. Typical seasonality of the refino cluster (scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Coração de Maria. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Coração de Maria demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Coração de Maria, 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, Coração de Maria 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.
Typical transit time to Coração de Maria: 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Coração de Maria is BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), totaling 1517 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Coração de Maria occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Regional service from Coração de Maria — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Coração de Maria, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Coração de Maria 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.
The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Coração de Maria with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Coração de Maria and all of Brazil.
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.
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 Coração de Maria 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.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Coração de Maria is handled by our regular road operator.
