Technical solutions
Typical applications mapped for Simões Filho include transferência de CAP, circulação de produtos intermediários, hidráulica industrial and resfriamento de reatores — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP and óleos pesados, the materials recommendation in Simões Filho converges on AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Technical fit in Simões Filho points to FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. Sitting in the technical context of a petroquimico cluster, Simões Filho benefits from accumulated learning around fluids with variable viscosity, vapor presence, light hydrocarbons and the need for dual cartridge seals. The applicable operating envelope spans FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 138 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — sufficient for most industrial applications identified in Simões Filho. Simões Filho: dual cartridge mechanical seal (API 682 Plan 53A/53B) for hazardous or high-temperature fluids — a configuration FB Bombas uses as initial reference; refinement depends on risk class and applicable environmental regulation. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Simões Filho undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. For Simões Filho (1490 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 72-96h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime.

Why FB Bombas
The demand profile in Simões Filho reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. Economically, delivery to Simões Filho brings logistics carries relative weight in the final composition — planned projects usually consolidate volumes. Fluid-roster complexity in Simões Filho is high — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. The industrial-pump market in Simões Filho coexists with traditional suppliers; FB Bombas differentiates itself through Brazilian manufacturing since 1944, Petrobras CRCC and engineered-to-order customization capability. Simões Filho belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. Typical seasonality of the petroquimico cluster (continuous operation with triennial outages (TPM) — moments of concentrated demand for retrofitted equipment) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Simões Filho. In Simões Filho, petroquímica accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. In Simões Filho, near a petroquimico cluster, applications such as cracking, hydrocarbon transfer, fractionation tower recirculation and oily-water pumping make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. In Simões Filho, engineered-to-order projects benefit from the FB combination: normalized baseline hydraulics + tailored customization (instrumentation, automation, special materials) with scope-defined lead time. Simões Filho 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. In Simões Filho, 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). Simões Filho, among the 50 most populous cities in BA, maintains a relevant industrial base, sustains a predictable B2B demand chain — an ideal profile for scheduled supply and multi-year replacement contracts. Simões Filho sits alongside relevant industrial neighbors — a base that justifies regional rotating-asset management programs and PMs synchronized across multiple customers.

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 Simões Filho.
FBE external gear pumps can operate with fluids up to 100,000 SSU (approximately 22,000 cSt). For very high viscosities, rotation is reduced to maintain volumetric efficiency and component life. Engineering sizes each application in Simões Filho according to the actual viscosity profile.

Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Simões Filho have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Simões Filho plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Simões Filho. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.
