Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Ataléia, Minas Gerais), FB application engineering recommends FBEI as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 72-96h lead time.


The óleos industriais and água industrial profile observed in Ataléia maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS. In Ataléia, Minas Gerais, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). Ataléia sits 217 km from the pulp-and-paper cluster centered in Aracruz, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. In Ataléia, 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. The BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias corridor combined with highways BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 composes the freight mesh to Ataléia — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. FB Bombas pumps installed in Ataléia, Minas Gerais meet CRCC Petrobras qualification, ASME B73.1 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 857 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, FB Bombas reaches Ataléia with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

What defines the FBE external gear pump in Ataléia is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body. Material selection for óleos industriais and água industrial in Ataléia considers austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. For the technical profile observed in Ataléia, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. For Ataléia, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.
The low fluid-complexity profile in Ataléia (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. Ataléia 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). In Ataléia, value added is dominated by services (28.8%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 260 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Ataléia demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Ataléia, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the papel-celulose cluster, Ataléia shares a technical agenda with white/black liquor circulation, recovery-boiler feed and low-to-medium consistency stock pumping — a direct path to series and materials selection.
48-72h, with possible technical stop: this is the typical delivery interval Cabreúva-SP → Ataléia, based on a consolidated road route and FB-qualified logistics operators. The BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias corridor (857 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to Ataléia — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. The factory-to-Ataléia dispatch includes technical packaging (impact protection, moisture sealing), multilingual documentation (PT/EN/ES when required) and approved-carrier tracking.
FB engineers serve Ataléia for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Ataléia — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Ataléia and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
Who serves Ataléia is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation returned within 3-5 business days and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to Ataléia are added to the plan.
Application engineering starts from four variables — flow, differential pressure, temperature and viscosity — and refines with available NPSH, duty cycle and chemical compatibility. The study is free for customers in Ataléia and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.
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.

Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Ataléia comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
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 Ataléia 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. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Ataléia. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover the same applications served by imported equipment — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, spare parts for FB pumps themselves and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. In a normalized centrifugal retrofit, ASME B73.1 requires that units of the same standard dimension designation, from any source of supply, be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft and foundation bolt holes.
Yes. For stationary fire protection systems, FB Bombas produces pumps compliant with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and with ABNT's NBR 16704 — covering building and industrial projects that demand these certifications.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
