Local context
Cabreúva-SP → Fortaleza (2367 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly, ANSI/HI 14.6 hydraulic bench, NDE and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book. For the dominant têxtil sector in Fortaleza, FB Bombas offers the FBOT series — FBOT pumps for heating systems in textile processes, dyeing and fabric finishing. Typical specification: Controlled temperature, Constant flow, Energy savings. The road network BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020, with BR-116 (via BA/PI) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Fortaleza. For Fortaleza, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — FBCN centrifugal pumps follow ASME B73.1 normalization, dimensionally interchangeable with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds and other global manufacturers already installed in the plant. CRCC Petrobras certification valid in CE qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Fortaleza in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE and FBCN series compliant with API 610 / API 676 and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Fortaleza requires pumping of água de tingimento and óleo térmico, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. Through 20-km proximity to the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Fortaleza inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. In Fortaleza, Têxtil and Calçados concentrate the largest share of demand for rotating equipment — a technical agenda well known to the FB application team, with proposals sized against the actual system curve. For pumping projects in Fortaleza, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316, Duplex 2205, Super Duplex 2507) and on-site commissioning support. Membership in the Metropolitana de Fortaleza mesoregion (IBGE) places Fortaleza in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. In Fortaleza/CE, FB Bombas serves têxtil projects with the FBOT series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with API 610 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting).
