Technical solutions
Gear pump selection for Igarassu starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of caldo de cana, melaço e vinhaça. 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. Material selection for melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana in Igarassu considers AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. Igarassu: transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. In Igarassu, the sealing strategy starts at single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — combined with API 682 plan selection (Plan 11/13/52/53/62) and specific commissioning care. FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) is the operating window initially considered for Igarassu — the final curve is finalized after piping-network analysis (head loss, geometric head, required vs. available NPSH). For the technical profile observed in Igarassu, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. 100% of pumps bound for Igarassu pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.

Why FB Bombas
The high fluid-complexity profile in Igarassu (diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. portuario cluster near Igarassu imposes a continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply pace — syncing equipment purchases, PM contracting and regional technical-team mobilization. Igarassu 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). The economic base of Igarassu confirms the profile: industry accounted for 38.5% of municipal value added (IBGE, 2021), and 2023 GDP totaled R$ 3.8 billion — a scale that sustains recurring demand for process pumps, utilities and installed-fleet replacement. By the belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state profile, Igarassu ranks as a relevant market in FB's commercial plan with regular technical coverage. Typical fluids handled in Igarassu (melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. sucroalcooleiro operations in Igarassu demand continuous pumping of process fluids, with preventive-maintenance windows aligned to plant scheduled outages. The portuario cluster near Igarassu brings applications such as bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Igarassu, among the 50 most populous cities in PE, maintains a relevant industrial base, offers a continuous pipeline of technical opportunities — from retrofit to greenfield. Typical use cases identified for Igarassu: series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação. Municipalities adjacent to Igarassu have relevant industrial activity, and FB Bombas typically covers multiple plants of that region in a single scheduled technical visit.

Logistics & support
72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season: this is the typical delivery interval Cabreúva-SP → Igarassu, based on a consolidated road route and FB-qualified logistics operators. The BR-101 (via AL) corridor (2160 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to Igarassu — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. The service structure for Igarassu is sized as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip, with escalation to additional visits in cases of commissioning, troubleshooting or complex retrofit. BR-101, BR-232 and BR-116 broaden FB's transport flexibility to Igarassu — useful in tight-window PM campaigns or for cargo whose gauge requires routes with specific bridges/curves. In specific situations, Igarassu can be served via cabotage (cargo through Santos, Itaqui or Pecém ports) — a modal evaluated case by case by FB commercial engineering. The factory-to-Igarassu dispatch includes technical packaging (impact protection, moisture sealing), multilingual documentation (PT/EN/ES when required) and approved-carrier tracking.
