Technical solutions
Gear pump selection for Itaboraí starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of CAP, óleos pesados e produtos intermediários. 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. The refino cluster near Itaboraí brings a technical agenda of crude oil, derivatives, high temperature (up to 260°C in FBCN, 350°C in FBOT) and API 610 requirements met via engineered-to-order projects — a reference FB Bombas uses as a benchmark for initial sizing and series selection. For derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP and óleos pesados, the materials recommendation in Itaboraí converges on AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. dual cartridge mechanical seal (API 682 Plan 53A/53B) for hazardous or high-temperature fluids is the initial sealing configuration for Itaboraí; secondary-plan adjustments and dual cartridges are considered based on fluid criticality and environmental requirement. In Itaboraí, 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) — this range covers most of the Q×H diagram operated in the field; off-envelope points are handled with custom selection (trimmed impeller, larger motor, double-suction when applicable). For the technical profile observed in Itaboraí, 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. Typical applications mapped for Itaboraí include transferência de CAP, circulação de produtos intermediários, resfriamento de reatores and aquecimento de tanques — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. 100% of pumps bound for Itaboraí pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.

Why FB Bombas
Technically, Itaboraí shows high complexity in its fluid mix — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. A GDP of R$ 6.3 billion (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (48.6% of value added in 2021) places Itaboraí's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Itaboraí: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Observed seasonal pattern: scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain. Itaboraí follows the same rhythm as the nearby refino cluster. Logistics-commercial aspect: balanced logistics — freight is a contained fraction of equipment cost. Itaboraí: belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state, a structural variable in the commercial offer. The fluid catalogue in Itaboraí (derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP and óleos pesados) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Use cases in Itaboraí (series FBE+FBEI for transferência de CAP and circulação de produtos intermediários and series FBCN+FBOT for resfriamento de reatores and aquecimento de tanques) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. Given its state-level scale (among the 50 most populous cities in RJ, maintains a relevant industrial base), Itaboraí concentrates projects of varying complexity — making room for both standardized ASME B73.1 solutions and engineered-to-order. In Itaboraí, FBFS fire-protection projects serve industrial buildings, commercial spaces and logistics warehouses with approval for state Fire Department and insurers. petroquímica plants in Itaboraí sustain a continuous pipeline of technical demand — from scheduled replacement to ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit replacing imported equipment. Itaboraí shares an industrial axis with nearby municipalities — a setting that enables structured supply and scheduled regional service. The refino cluster around Itaboraí concentrates applications crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history.
