Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Valente, Bahia), FB application engineering recommends FBEI as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 96h to 7 days lead time.


The óleos industriais and água industrial profile observed in Valente maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS. FB Bombas application engineering serves Valente 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). Just 159 km separate Valente 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 pumps installed in Valente, Bahia meet CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. Valente 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. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Valente, Bahia with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 610 / API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers) and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. FB Bombas serves Valente 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.

Gear pump selection for Valente starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Valente, the baseline is austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. In Valente, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. Before shipment to Valente, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
The low fluid-complexity profile in Valente (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. Valente shows a medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). A GDP of R$ 351 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (39.6% of value added in 2021) places Valente's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Valente demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the refino cluster, Valente shares a technical agenda with crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a direct path to series and materials selection. In Valente, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand.
Logistics lead time to Valente is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 1553 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Valente 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-Valente logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.
FB engineers serve Valente for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Regional service from Valente — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
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 Valente, talk to our technical team.
Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Valente. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.
Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Valente, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
It does. The standard used is ISO 10816, with velocity RMS in mm/s, and the diagnosis — conducted by FB Bombas application engineering — identifies misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps operating in Valente. At startup the baseline is captured; in PM campaigns, spectral comparison is performed; and interventions (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) are recommended before vibration enters zone D.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Valente projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.
Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Valente, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.
Yes, we do. Supply for Valente 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.
Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Valente with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
