Industrial pumps for projects in Mairi, Bahia

It depends on the series, as set out in each manual: 10 kgf/cm² for the FBE (MTEC-01/01, Table 5), 1.5 times the operating pressure for the FBOT (MTEC-16/00), 1.5 times the working pressure for the FBME (MTEC-08/01) and per ANSI B73.1 for the FBCN (MTEC-03/00). The test is performed on the factory bench in Cabreúva, Brazil; certificates, additional tests and customer witnessing are defined in the proposal for supply to Mairi.

Lead time to Mairi depends on the model, configuration and transport. Several FBE models are kept in stock; availability and expected dispatch for each item are confirmed in the quotation. State the destination and the date you need so that the proposal also defines freight and delivery responsibilities.

Following the BNDES steps, first check whether the equipment appears on the list of items eligible for BNDES Finame financing, in the CFI Catalog on the bank’s website; for that check, ask the sales team for the identification of the model quoted for Mairi. Then apply for financing through an accredited financial agent, such as a commercial bank, development bank, development agency or credit union. The agent reviews the request and, if it approves the operation, forwards it to BNDES, which evaluates the request and authorizes the financing. Being a Brazilian manufacturer does not, on its own, show that the equipment is accredited.

Send the application in Mairi, fluid, temperature and available flow, pressure or head data. For replacement, add the equipment model, identification and drawing. Also state the destination and purchase documentation requirements. The team confirms any additional data needed and the technical and commercial proposal scope.

FB Bombas reports a registration in the Petrobras supplier registry (CRC, formerly CRCC). It is a supplier registration, not a product certification; validity and supply families appear on the current certificate, provided on request. Technical standards depend on the series: mechanical construction per ASME B73.1 for the FBCN, NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 for FBFS fire pump sets when the project requires it, and API 610 for engineered-to-order projects. These bodies publish standards; they do not certify the company. Tests and certificates for each supply are defined in the proposal.

It depends on the series. The FBE can have packing, a mechanical seal, a lip seal or a magnetic coupling; the standard seal is type 21, in ceramic, graphite and Viton, with an AISI 304 stainless-steel spring. The FBCN uses packing or a mechanical seal, the FBOT combines graphite packing as the first sealing stage with a mechanical seal immersed in the bearing-housing oil, and the FBEI accepts packing or a single, double or cartridge mechanical seal. State the fluid, concentration, temperature and pressure of the process in Mairi to define the arrangement.

When the Data Book is part of the purchase scope. State which drawings, manuals, certificates and test reports are required for Mairi; the proposal confirms the documents applicable to the supplied series and configuration. The same Data Book is not assumed for every pump.

FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing. Send the identification and drawing of the pump installed in Mairi, with flow, head, fluid, materials and drive.

Yes. Projects in Mairi are handled by the factory team in Cabreúva, Brazil. Send your industrial requirement and the data already available. Configuration, availability, transport and any on-site service are confirmed according to the requested scope.

Warranty conditions are defined in the proposal and contract and vary with the series, operating conditions and agreement. The manuals state what can void it. Under the FBEI manual (MAN001-10), operating with a different fluid or outside the pump’s data sheets and certified documents without FB’s written authorization voids the warranty. Under the FBME service manual (MSERV-08/01), after parts are replaced, the operating and performance warranty applies only with original parts and FB’s consent. For the project in Mairi, confirm the conditions in the quotation.
