Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Curaçá, Bahia for local industry — head up to 135 m, temperature up to 260°C. ASME B73.1, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (1769 km).


Road access runs via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), with branches through BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. Curaçá sits 425 km from the refining cluster centered in Sao Francisco Do Conde, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. Membership in the Vale São-Franciscano da Bahia mesoregion (IBGE) places Curaçá in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. For Curaçá, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — the FBCN centrifugal follows ASME B73.1, whose dimension designation is common to the entire installed normalized fleet, whoever the original manufacturer was. In Curaçá, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Curaçá, Bahia with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers), API 610 engineered-to-order projects and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 1769 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas delivers to Curaçá industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

FBCN sizing for the Curaçá circuit checks three points on the curve: the operating point (near BEP), available NPSH with margin over required — critical with hot fluid or suction lift — and end-of-curve power, which protects the motor against overload in off-design operation. Technical fit in Curaçá 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, the materials recommendation in Curaçá converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Lead time for critical parts to Curaçá is typically 96h to 7 days — a function of distance (1769 km) and the available road modal.
Curaçá: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. At state scale, Curaçá has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale. A GDP of R$ 500 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (30.3% of value added in 2021) places Curaçá's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Typical fluids handled in Curaçá (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. The refino cluster near Curaçá brings applications such as crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Typical use cases identified for Curaçá: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades.
Cabreúva-SP → Curaçá via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) (1769 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. The BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Curaçá — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. For Curaçá, FB service follows the technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Curaçá, 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. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Curaçá, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.
Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Curaçá, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.
Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Curaçá plants, regardless of which brand occupied the base, provided the designation coincides. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, so the new pump takes the position without touching piping or baseplate.
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.
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 Curaçá 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.
In Curaçá, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Curaçá are scheduled.
Four families are manufactured in Cabreúva/SP: external gear FBE and internal gear FBEI for viscous fluids, standardized centrifugal FBCN for low-viscosity liquids and FBOT for thermal oil circuits up to 350 °C. Fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 complete the line.
