Technical summary
FBCN centrifugal pumps (FB Bombas) in Ibirataia, Bahia: sized for local industry, flow up to 2,200 m³/h, ASME B73.1 compliance. Cabreúva-SP at 1295 km, typical critical-parts lead time: 72-96h.


In Ibirataia, FB Bombas serves projects with in-house application engineering: system-curve analysis, NPSH balance (available vs required), series selection (FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI / FBFS) and API 682 sealing plan. Through 192-km proximity to the refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde, Ibirataia inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. Ibirataia requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. In Ibirataia, 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). The BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 composes the freight mesh to Ibirataia — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. FB Bombas maintains in Ibirataia the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 676 + ASME B73.1 (API 610 on engineered-to-order projects) — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 1295 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas delivers to Ibirataia industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

Technical-and-commercial support for Ibirataia is covered from Cabreúva-SP, with typical lead time for critical parts of 72-96h via dedicated carrier. In Ibirataia, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of óleos industriais and água industrial — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). For the technical profile observed in Ibirataia, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. In utilities and continuous process in Ibirataia, the standardized centrifugal standardizes the fleet: 53 models with bench-tested curves cover the flow × head grid, and the same construction philosophy simplifies spares inventory across sizes — fewer critical items, more availability.
Ibirataia: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Ibirataia: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Ibirataia has a services-oriented economy (34.3% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 274 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. The fluid catalogue in Ibirataia (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 Ibirataia 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 Ibirataia (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.
Cabreúva-SP → Ibirataia via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) (1295 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 Ibirataia — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. For Ibirataia, FB service follows the technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries.

Regional service from Ibirataia — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Every FB pump leaves the factory with a warranty against manufacturing defects, under the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The condition is that installation, operation and maintenance respect the manual's parameters and the sizing defined by engineering. For details on your project in Ibirataia, talk to our technical team.
Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Ibirataia.
The schedule is set by three factors: chosen series, construction materials and stock at order time. Standard configurations ship faster; custom ones receive a firm date in the technical proposal. Delivery to Ibirataia is by road, shipping directly from the factory.
Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Ibirataia for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods), with preferential conditions for national industry. On the technical proposal, the commercial team includes the product's FINAME code to enter the customer's financial plan.
Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Ibirataia receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.
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.
They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Ibirataia, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.
Limits vary by series. FBE and FBEI: up to 350°C, provided a heating jacket and special sealing are used. FBOT: up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits. FBCN: up to 260°C, with materials and sealing suited to the service. Well-sized sealing and materials are a condition for safe operation in these ranges.
Yes — the standard catalog is only the starting point. For special applications, FB Bombas engineers custom solutions: changes in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Before manufacturing, every special project is validated by engineering.
Yes. For stationary fire protection systems, FB Bombas produces pumps compliant with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and with ABNT's NBR 16704 — covering building and industrial projects that demand these certifications.
