Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Acaraú, Ceará for carcinicultura — head up to 135 m, temperature up to 260°C. ASME B73.1, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (2394 km).


Operations in carcinicultura, pesca dominate the local production profile, defining the typical fluid catalogue and the FB series recommended for each application. For Acaraú, 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. Just 197 km separate Acaraú from the refining cluster of Fortaleza — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Acaraú, Ceará with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers), API 610 engineered-to-order projects and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. FB Bombas technical service in Acaraú covers centrifugal- and gear-pump sizing, commissioning support, assisted startup and operator training — a scope that spans the full technical-supply cycle. Acaraú is served by the BR-116 (via BA/PI) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 2394 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI), FB Bombas reaches Acaraú with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

FBCN sizing for the Acaraú circuit checks three points on the curve: the operating point (near BEP), available NPSH with margin over required — critical with hot fluid or suction lift — and end-of-curve power, which protects the motor against overload in off-design operation. Sitting in the technical context of a refino cluster, Acaraú benefits from accumulated learning around crude oil, derivatives, high temperature (up to 260°C in FBCN, 350°C in FBOT) and API 610 requirements met via engineered-to-order projects. In Acaraú, API 676 for positive displacement and — on critical services, via engineered-to-order projects — API 610 for centrifugal, the typical downstream Oil & Gas package are the applicable references — easing approval at commissioning and during technical audits. Technical-and-commercial support for Acaraú is covered from Cabreúva-SP, with typical lead time for critical parts of 96h to 7 days via dedicated carrier.
The demand profile in Acaraú reflects high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand. With a GDP of R$ 1.3 billion (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 27.8% of value added (2021), Acaraú combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. Acaraú belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. In Acaraú, carcinicultura accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. In Acaraú, near a refino cluster, applications such as crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. Acaraú, among the 50 most populous cities in CE, maintains a relevant industrial base, sustains a predictable B2B demand chain — an ideal profile for scheduled supply and multi-year replacement contracts.
Cabreúva-SP → Acaraú via BR-116 (via BA/PI) (2394 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. The BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Acaraú — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. For Acaraú, FB service follows the technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Acaraú — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
There is. Full production in Cabreúva/SP guarantees factory replacement parts for all four series — planned shutdowns get short lead times and emergencies receive priority handling, which protects the total cost of ownership of the equipment installed in Acaraú.
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.
In Acaraú, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Acaraú are scheduled.
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.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
Yes, provided the dimension designation coincides. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps — the FBCN occupies the standardised installation envelope defined by the norm, which does not depend on who built the pump running in Acaraú plants. What is supplied is the complete pump: baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain. FB application engineering runs the dimensional gap analysis before supply, covering flow, head and required NPSH as well.
Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Acaraú count on FB Bombas technical training, structured in modules: sizing and characteristic-curve reading, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Classes can happen at the customer plant or at the factory in Cabreúva/SP, in-person or hybrid format.
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 Acaraú 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.
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 Acaraú, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes — Acaraú is part of FB Bombas’ direct service area. Supply, engineering support and spare parts ship from the factory in Cabreúva/SP; sizing is done at no cost and, when the project is critical, the team evaluates an on-site technical visit.
