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


Service to Salvador is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) (1466 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support. FB Bombas application engineering serves Salvador 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). 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 Salvador, Bahia, FB Bombas serves petroquímica projects with the FBE 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). Salvador's industrial profile centers on Petroquímica and Automobilística — sectors with specific pumping demands that FB Bombas meets with dedicated product series. The automotive cluster of Simoes Filho is 24 km from Salvador, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. Petroquímica operations in Salvador map to the FB Bombas FBE series. FBE external gear pumps are ideal for transferring petroleum derivatives, CAP, asphalt and viscous products typical of the petrochemical industry. Certified characteristic curve covers Flow up to 250 m³/h, Pressure up to 12 bar, Temperature up to 350°C. The IBGE classification places Salvador in the Metropolitana de Salvador mesoregion — an area whose industrial profile directly influences demand for rotating equipment. FB Bombas maintains in Salvador 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. For Salvador, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — the FBCN centrifugal follows ASME B73.1, whose dimension designation is common to the entire installed normalized fleet, whoever the original manufacturer was. In Salvador, derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP, óleos pesados and óleos hidráulicos 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).

The pump-and-motor set shipped to Salvador undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. In Salvador, FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to replacing an installed pump carrying the same ASME B73.1 dimensional designation. In Salvador, influence from the automotivo cluster translates into cutting fluids, hydraulic oils, paint-line water and process cooling — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. In Salvador, materials such as AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere answer the requirements of derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP and óleos pesados — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). In Salvador, transferência de CAP, circulação de produtos intermediários, prensas hidráulicas and resfriamento de reatores form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. Salvador: single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — a configuration FB Bombas uses as initial reference; refinement depends on risk class and applicable environmental regulation. In Salvador, FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — this range covers most of the Q×H diagram operated in the field; off-envelope points are handled with custom selection (trimmed impeller, larger motor, double-suction when applicable). What defines the FBE external gear pump in Salvador is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of CAP, óleos pesados e produtos intermediários. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body.
Salvador: high fluid complexity, diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. At state scale, Salvador concentrates the largest share of the state's industrial plants — high and diversified absolute demand. Salvador: logistics carries relative weight in the final composition — planned projects usually consolidate volumes — a relevant input for pricing and commercial strategy. Salvador: very high industrial concentration — territory for multi-customer technical-visit campaigns — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Salvador: by affinity to the automotivo cluster, collective shutdowns (recess, industrial holidays) synchronize maintenance across regional plants — a variable that enters commercial planning. In Salvador, value added is dominated by services (70.3%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 76.7 billion — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. In Salvador, derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP and óleos pesados form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). In Salvador, petroquímica accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. In Salvador, near a automotivo cluster, applications such as cutting fluids in machining, hydraulic oils in presses and treated water in paint booths make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. In Salvador, engineered-to-order projects benefit from the FB combination: normalized baseline hydraulics + tailored customization (instrumentation, automation, special materials) with scope-defined lead time. Salvador shows cases like series FBE+FBEI for transferência de CAP and circulação de produtos intermediários and series FBCN+FBOT for resfriamento de reatores and aquecimento de tanques — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration. Salvador, as the largest city in BA, concentrates the greatest diversity of industrial plants in the state, sustains a predictable B2B demand chain — an ideal profile for scheduled supply and multi-year replacement contracts. The microregion around Salvador concentrates industrial plants with complementary technical demand — opening room for integrated supply, best-practice exchange and operational benchmarking.
Salvador receives equipment within 48-72h, with possible technical stop counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Salvador: 1466 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Salvador, in a port context, occasionally requires specific customs documentation for imported components; support provided by the FB commercial team. Salvador: critical parts (seal, bearings, wear ring) can be kept on consignment at the plant to minimize replacement time. Salvador: technical service is organized as technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel — the model FB Bombas uses to ensure support without overloading operations. Federal highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 make up the access network to Salvador, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Before shipment to Salvador, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Salvador. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.
Yes, when the dimension designation matches. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), which requires pumps of the same designation, from any source of supply, to be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, baseplate and foundation bolt holes — in Salvador plants this applies to the installed normalized fleet. FB Bombas supplies the complete pump, not loose parts: baseplate, piping and foundation stay, and a new FBCN goes in. Before supply, application engineering checks the duty point (Q×H), available NPSH and flange class — a matching designation alone does not guarantee hydraulic equivalence.
