Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Caraúbas, Rio Grande do Norte for local industry — head up to 138 m, temperature up to 260°C. API 610, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (2202 km).


For Caraúbas, 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. CRCC Petrobras certification valid in RN qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Caraúbas in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE and FBCN series compliant with API 610 / API 676 and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Caraúbas requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. FB Bombas application engineering serves Caraúbas 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). FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Caraúbas (RN) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Caraúbas — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. Through 243-km proximity to the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Caraúbas inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. Caraúbas is served by the BR-101 (via PB) axis and also by highways BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. Service to Caraúbas is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-101 (via PB) (2202 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support.

Technical-and-commercial support for Caraúbas is covered from Cabreúva-SP, with typical lead time for critical parts of 96h to 7 days via dedicated carrier. For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Caraúbas converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. For the technical profile observed in Caraúbas, 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. Caraúbas, near a distrito-industrial cluster, deals with variable mix: specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oil — a technical agenda well known to FB application engineering. In Caraúbas, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness.
Caraúbas: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Caraúbas: by affinity to the distrito-industrial cluster, variable seasonality depending on plant mix — individualized planning — a variable that enters commercial planning. At state scale, Caraúbas belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state. The distrito-industrial cluster around Caraúbas concentrates applications diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. Use cases in Caraúbas (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The fluid catalogue in Caraúbas (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Given its state-level scale (among the 50 most populous cities in RN, maintains a relevant industrial base), Caraúbas concentrates projects of varying complexity — making room for both standardized ASME B73.1 solutions and engineered-to-order.
Cabreúva-SP to Caraúbas: 2202 km via BR-101 (via PB), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Caraúbas receives equipment within 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Federal highways BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304 make up the access network to Caraúbas, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Caraúbas: technical service is organized as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip — the model FB Bombas uses to ensure support without overloading operations.
FB engineers serve Caraúbas for the FBCN 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 Caraúbas — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Caraúbas, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Caraúbas 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.
FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Caraúbas. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Caraúbas. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.
