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 ASME B73.1 (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.

In viscous fluid services in Coração de Maria, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. 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. 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. A GDP of R$ 326 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (32.1% of value added in 2021) places Coração de Maria's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. 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.

Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Coração de Maria have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
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.
They are. For each delivery to Coração de Maria, FB Bombas assembles the unit's complete technical Data Book, containing: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates — stainless steel, duplex or ductile cast iron, per spec —, ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve obtained on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. Full traceability happens through the serial number.
Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Coração de Maria and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.
It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Coração de Maria projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.
Yes. The design of the FBE and FBCN lines favors direct access to wear-prone components — disassembly and inspection are done with conventional tools. The routine gets even simpler with detailed technical manuals and replacement parts supplied straight from the factory.
It does. The standard used is ISO 10816, with velocity RMS in mm/s, and the diagnosis — conducted by FB Bombas application engineering — identifies misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps operating in Coração de Maria. At startup the baseline is captured; in PM campaigns, spectral comparison is performed; and interventions (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) are recommended before vibration enters zone D.
