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


Service to Serra Preta is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) (1489 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support. Serra Preta, Bahia is territory where FB Bombas operates as a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer with 82 years of continuous operation. For the local industry industrial profile dominating the region, we offer the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series with CRCC Petrobras qualification, API 676 compliance and ASME B73.1 normalization (API 610 engineered-to-order projects) — basis for retrofit in plants with global manufacturers already installed. The road network BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324, with BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Serra Preta. Within IBGE mesoregion Centro Norte Baiano, Serra Preta shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in BA qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Serra Preta in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE (API 676) and FBCN (ASME B73.1) series and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Just 87 km separate Serra Preta from the refining cluster of Sao Francisco Do Conde — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Serra Preta requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Serra Preta receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book. In Serra Preta, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Serra Preta, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. In viscous fluid services in Serra Preta, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage.
In Serra Preta, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Serra Preta, 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. In Serra Preta, value added is dominated by services (32.1%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 175 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Typical fluids handled in Serra Preta (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Typical use cases identified for Serra Preta: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades. The refino cluster near Serra Preta 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.
Logistics lead time to Serra Preta is 48-72h, with possible technical stop — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 1489 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Serra Preta via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Serra Preta logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Serra Preta — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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.
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. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Serra Preta 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.
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 Serra Preta, talk to our technical team.
Yes — the standard catalog is only the starting point. For special applications, FB Bombas engineers custom solutions: changes in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Before manufacturing, every special project is validated by engineering.
Three paths lead to a quote: the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 and the email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. With the application data in hand (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature), the technical team returns a proposal already sized for your scenario in Serra Preta.
The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Serra Preta with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.
Shipment is by road via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.
They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Serra Preta eligible for the BNDES Finame lines — Industrial Working Capital, Modernization and Capital Goods —, which offer preferential conditions for national industry. The product's FINAME code is provided by the commercial team on the technical proposal, ready to compose the customer's financial plan.
Application engineering starts from four variables — flow, differential pressure, temperature and viscosity — and refines with available NPSH, duty cycle and chemical compatibility. The study is free for customers in Serra Preta and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.
