Technical summary
In Piatã, Bahia, FBEI (external gear) serves local industry with 12 sizes (1/8" to 6"), pressure up to 22 kgf/cm² and field-validated materials. Cabreúva-SP at 1263 km, 72-96h logistics lead time.


In Piatã, 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). Under the IBGE Centro Sul Baiano mesoregion grouping, Piatã shares per-capita GDP, workforce profile and environmental-licensing patterns with adjacent cities — macroeconomic variables that reinforce predictability of local B2B demand. In Piatã, 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). FB Bombas application engineering serves Piatã with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). Only 340 km from the refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde, Piatã benefits from logistics spillover and movement of technical professionals — FB Bombas has a service track record in the region. Industrial plants in Piatã rely on FB Bombas spares held in scheduled stock: semi-open and open impellers, wear rings in various materials, dual cartridge seals API 682 Plan 53 and SKF/FAG bearings per the original spec. Cabreúva-SP → Piatã (1263 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book.

Gear pump selection for Piatã 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. Piatã 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. The transferência geral and utilidades set accounts for a large share of industrial demand in Piatã; FB Bombas keeps documented history of analogous applications for sizing benchmarks. 100% of pumps bound for Piatã pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
Piatã: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. With a GDP of R$ 221 million (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 28.6% of value added (2021), Piatã combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. Piatã: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Piatã 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, Piatã 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 Piatã, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand.
Typical transit time to Piatã: 48-72h, with possible technical stop — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Piatã is BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), totaling 1263 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Piatã occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.
FB engineers serve Piatã for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Piatã — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.
FB Bombas' trajectory as an industrial pump manufacturer began in 1944 and adds up to over 82 years of continuous experience. Engineering, manufacturing and testing operate under one roof at the Cabreúva/SP factory — a guarantee of total quality control on every unit that reaches Piatã and the rest of Brazil.
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.

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.
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 Piatã, talk to our technical team.
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 Piatã 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.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Piatã comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Piatã, 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.
It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.
