Local context
Cabreúva-SP → Duque de Caxias (396 km via BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra): 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. Under the IBGE Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro mesoregion grouping, Duque de Caxias shares per-capita GDP, workforce profile and environmental-licensing patterns with adjacent cities — macroeconomic variables that reinforce predictability of local B2B demand. Duque de Caxias requires pumping of derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP, óleos pesados and resíduos pesados, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. Just 47 km separate Duque de Caxias from the petrochemical cluster of Itaborai — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Duque de Caxias's industrial profile centers on Petroquímica and Refino — sectors with specific pumping demands that FB Bombas meets with dedicated product series. The road network BR-116, BR-101 and BR-040, with BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Duque de Caxias. For Duque de Caxias, 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. FB Bombas application engineering owns technical specification in Duque de Caxias — from customer data sheet to the final Data Book delivered with the pump, through application review, FAT on the hydraulic bench and on-site SAT support. For Duque de Caxias, where petroquímica is the dominant calling, FB Bombas recommends the FBE series: FBE external gear pumps are ideal for transferring petroleum derivatives, CAP, asphalt and viscous products typical of the petrochemical industry. Technical window: Flow up to 250 m³/h, Pressure up to 12 bar, Temperature up to 350°C. FB Bombas maintains in Duque de Caxias the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 610 + API 676 + ASME B73.1 — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, food, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. In Duque de Caxias/RJ, FB Bombas serves petroquímica projects with the FBE 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).
