Technical summary
FBCN centrifugal pumps (FB Bombas) in Ponto Novo, Bahia: sized for local industry, flow up to 2,200 m³/h, ASME B73.1 compliance. Cabreúva-SP at 1570 km, typical critical-parts lead time: 96h to 7 days.


Ponto Novo sits 251 km from the refining cluster centered in Sao Francisco Do Conde, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. In Ponto Novo, 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. Ponto Novo requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. Ponto Novo 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. FB Bombas maintains in Ponto Novo 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. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Ponto Novo, Bahia with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers), API 610 engineered-to-order projects and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. Cabreúva-SP → Ponto Novo (1570 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.

For the FBCN centrifugal in Ponto Novo, correct selection comes from the circuit's flow × head pair: the right model is the one that places the operating point near BEP (best efficiency point), where efficiency and reliability go together. A pump oversized "to be safe" runs in internal recirculation — vibration, radial load and short seal life. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Ponto Novo, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. In Ponto Novo, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. Ponto Novo is served with a logistics lead time of 96h to 7 days for critical parts from Cabreúva-SP, subject to case-by-case optimization.
In Ponto Novo, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. Ponto Novo has a services-oriented economy (30.5% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 246 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. In Ponto Novo, refino-cluster seasonality manifests as scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. For Ponto Novo, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. Ponto Novo: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives: this is the typical application set around the refino cluster in which Ponto Novo sits.
Cabreúva-SP → Ponto Novo via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) (1570 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 Ponto Novo — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. For Ponto Novo, FB service follows the technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries.

Regional service from Ponto Novo — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
It does. The technical support and logistics covering Ponto Novo are the same applied to the metropolitan region and nearby microregions. That operating radius enables coordinated service to industrial plants distributed across several cities.
Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Ponto Novo plants, regardless of which brand occupied the base, provided the designation coincides. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, so the new pump takes the position without touching piping or baseplate.
Yes, we do. Supply for Ponto Novo ships directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP and includes engineering support, spare parts for all four series and free sizing — critical projects may receive an on-site technical visit.
It is. From the data of the pump in operation (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature), FB Bombas' application engineering proposes a technical equivalence — dimensional or functional — with one of our series. This replacement has already been done by many clients in Ponto Novo, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Ponto Novo 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. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
The portfolio covers four in-house series: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for low-pulsation services, FBCN (standardized centrifugal) for water and light fluids and FBOT (dedicated centrifugal) for thermal oil — plus complete fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 and NBR 16704.
