Local context
FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Itaboraí (RJ) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For petroquímica — the dominant industrial calling of Itaboraí — we recommend the FBE series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an ANSI/HI 14.6 hydraulic bench. In Itaboraí, petroquímica projects find their technical fit in the FB Bombas FBE series. FBE external gear pumps are ideal for transferring petroleum derivatives, CAP, asphalt and viscous products typical of the petrochemical industry. Typical pre-sizing: Flow up to 250 m³/h, Pressure up to 12 bar, Temperature up to 350°C. The IBGE classification places Itaboraí in the Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro mesoregion — an area whose industrial profile directly influences demand for rotating equipment. Logistically, the city connects to Cabreúva-SP via BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra, complemented by alternatives BR-116, BR-101 and BR-040 — a network that supports technical service within tight operational windows. Itaboraí has petroquímica as its main industrial front — which directly shapes the pump type (gear, centrifugal, thermal-oil) with technical fit for each plant. Itaboraí sits 47 km from the refining cluster centered in Duque De Caxias, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. The fluid roster in Itaboraí (derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP, óleos pesados and água de processo) demands attention to viscosity, operating temperature and chemical compatibility — variables that FB application engineering uses to recommend the proper series. For projects in Itaboraí that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover API 610 (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. FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Itaboraí with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance — direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory, no intermediaries. FB Bombas application engineering serves Itaboraí with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). Service to Itaboraí is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra (443 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support.
