Local context
Catalão, Goiás is territory where FB Bombas operates as a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer with 82 years of continuous operation. For the mineração industrial profile dominating the region, we offer the FBCN series with CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 / API 676 compliance and ASME B73.1 normalization — basis for retrofit in plants with global manufacturers already installed. In Catalão, FB Bombas serves projects with in-house application engineering: system-curve analysis, NPSH balance (available vs required), series selection (FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI / FBFS) and API 682 sealing plan. Within IBGE mesoregion Sul Goiano, Catalão shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. In Catalão, óleos hidráulicos, fluidos de corte, água de processo and lamas diluídas make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). Mineração operations in Catalão map to the FB Bombas FBCN series. FBCN centrifugal pumps for industrial water transfer, pulps and slurries in mining operations. Certified characteristic curve covers High flow up to 1,200 m³/h, Abrasive resistance, Multiple construction materials. The mining cluster of Paracatu is 154 km from Catalão, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. FB Bombas serves Catalão with a complete aftermarket package — original spare parts, preventive maintenance, vibration troubleshooting (ISO 10816 analysis), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing and retrofit of global-manufacturer pumps on the ASME B73.1 baseplate. Catalão has mineração and automobilística as its main industrial front — which directly shapes the pump type (gear, centrifugal, thermal-oil) with technical fit for each plant. For projects in Catalão that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. Catalão is served by the BR-050 (via Anhanguera SP-330) axis and also by highways BR-050, BR-060 and BR-153 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. FB Bombas serves Catalão from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-050 (via Anhanguera SP-330) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.
