Ipupiara requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. Just 437 km separate Ipupiara from the refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Logistically, the city connects to Cabreúva-SP via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), complemented by alternatives BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 — a network that supports technical service within tight operational windows. In Ipupiara, 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). CRCC Petrobras registration valid in BA qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Ipupiara in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE (API 676) and FBCN (ASME B73.1) series and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. FB Bombas application engineering owns technical specification in Ipupiara — from customer data sheet to the final Data Book delivered with the pump, through application review, FAT on the hydraulic bench and on-site SAT support. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 1364 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas delivers to Ipupiara industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

Gear pump selection for Ipupiara 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. Ipupiara 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. In Ipupiara, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. Ipupiara receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book.
Technically, Ipupiara shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. In Ipupiara, value added is dominated by services (44.9%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 138 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Demand in Ipupiara is characterized by medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Typical fluids handled in Ipupiara (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. The refino cluster near Ipupiara 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. Use cases in Ipupiara (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.
Typical transit time to Ipupiara: 48-72h, with possible technical stop — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Ipupiara is BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), totaling 1364 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Before shipment to Ipupiara, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Regional service from Ipupiara — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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 Ipupiara.
FB Bombas manufactures four major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
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. On the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is carried out: hydraulic test with characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. The SAT (Site Acceptance Test) on Ipupiara projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.
Shipment is by road via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.
Manufacturing in Brazil since 1944, FB Bombas delivers shorter lead times — with no import dependency —, direct technical support from FB engineering, in-house manufactured replacement parts, local-currency pricing free of exchange rate exposure, and on-site service for projects in Ipupiara and surrounding areas.
Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Ipupiara count on FB Bombas technical training, structured in modules: sizing and characteristic-curve reading, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Classes can happen at the customer plant or at the factory in Cabreúva/SP, in-person or hybrid format.
In Ipupiara, 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 Ipupiara are scheduled.
ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Ipupiara depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.
