Technical summary
For industrial water and low-viscosity fluids in local industry (Saubara, Bahia), FB engineering recommends FBCN. ASME B73.1 compliance and hydraulic testing, 72-96h lead time from Cabreúva-SP.


In Saubara, 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). For the Saubara, Bahia market, FB Bombas offers industrial pumps with certified hydraulic tests, ASME B73.1 (dimensional interchangeability) and a traceable Data Book per unit — a technical package that shortens the customer homologation cycle. Saubara 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. Just 16 km separate Saubara from the refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. FB Bombas technical service in Saubara covers centrifugal- and gear-pump sizing, commissioning support, assisted startup and operator training — a scope that spans the full technical-supply cycle. Saubara requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. FB Bombas serves Saubara from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.

In utilities and continuous process in Saubara, the standardized centrifugal standardizes the fleet: 53 models with bench-tested curves cover the flow × head grid, and the same construction philosophy simplifies spares inventory across sizes — fewer critical items, more availability. Saubara 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. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Saubara, the baseline is AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. The FB model for Saubara: 72-96h logistics lead time, with the option to accelerate via air modal or alternative routing in operational emergencies.
Demand in Saubara is characterized by low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. In Saubara, value added is dominated by services (31.5%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 180 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Observed seasonal pattern: scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain. Saubara follows the same rhythm as the nearby refino cluster. The refino cluster near Saubara brings applications such as crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Typical use cases identified for Saubara: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades. Typical fluids handled in Saubara (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing.
1470 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Saubara via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Logistics lead time to Saubara is 48-72h, with possible technical stop — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The technical-service model in Saubara is structured as technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Saubara — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Saubara plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.
Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Saubara.
Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.
Service to Saubara is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and original spare parts supplied at factory-direct pricing. On-site technical visits to Saubara are planned based on project criticality.
They do. In the FBE and FBCN lines, wear-affected components sit in easily accessible positions, so conventional tools suffice for disassembly and inspection. Add detailed technical manuals and factory-direct availability of replacement parts — and maintenance becomes an uncomplicated routine.
Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Saubara with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Saubara and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.
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 Saubara and the rest of Brazil.
Credentials include an active Petrobras CRCC, API 676 compliance on the FBE gear line, ASME B73.1 compliance on the FBCN centrifugal and adherence to NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 on fire-fighting systems. Technical documentation and data book accompany supplies upon requirement.
