Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Jitaúna, Bahia), FB application engineering recommends FBEI as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 72-96h lead time.


Based in Cabreúva-SP at 1284 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas delivers to Jitaúna industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support. The refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde is 204 km from Jitaúna, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. Jitaúna is served by the BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. For projects in Jitaúna that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover API 610 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Jitaúna with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance — direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory, no intermediaries. In Jitaúna, 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). Typical fluids in Jitaúna's industrial operations include óleos industriais and água industrial — a vector that determines whether the correct specification is the FBE/FBEI (gear) or FBCN/FBOT (centrifugal / thermal oil) series.

In Jitaúna, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. In Jitaúna, 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). Typical applications mapped for Jitaúna include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For Jitaúna, 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.
Jitaúna: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Jitaúna: by affinity to the refino cluster, scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain — a variable that enters commercial planning. Jitaúna: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Jitaúna demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the refino cluster, Jitaúna 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. In Jitaúna, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand.
Typical transit time to Jitaúna: 48-72h, with possible technical stop — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Jitaúna is BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), totaling 1284 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Jitaúna occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Regional service from Jitaúna — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Jitaúna, 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 offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Jitaúna, 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.
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 Jitaúna is handled by our regular road operator.
Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Jitaúna, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
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 Jitaúna have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Jitaúna.
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Jitaúna, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
FB Bombas manufactures three 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.
