Technical summary
The FBCN+FBOT (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Ceará-Mirim, Rio Grande do Norte for sucroalcooleiro — head up to 135 m, temperature up to 260°C. ASME B73.1, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (2332 km).


Operations in sucroalcooleiro dominate the local production profile, defining the typical fluid catalogue and the FB series recommended for each application. In Ceará-Mirim, Rio Grande do Norte, FB Bombas serves sucroalcooleiro projects with the FBE series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). The road network BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304, with BR-101 (via PB) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Ceará-Mirim. Ceará-Mirim requires pumping of melaço, óleos lubrificantes, caldo de cana and vinhaça, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. Through 298-km proximity to the port cluster of Cabo De Santo Agostinho, Ceará-Mirim inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. The FB Bombas FBE series answers sucroalcooleiro demand in Ceará-Mirim — FBE external gear pumps for transfer of molasses, ethanol, lubricating oils and viscous fluids in sugarcane mills. Operating range: Ideal for molasses and honey, Operation with crystallized products, Easy cleaning. For projects in Ceará-Mirim that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (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 Ceará-Mirim with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance, with direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory. The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Leste Potiguar, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 2332 km via BR-101 (via PB), FB Bombas reaches Ceará-Mirim with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

FBCN sizing for the Ceará-Mirim circuit checks three points on the curve: the operating point (near BEP), available NPSH with margin over required — critical with hot fluid or suction lift — and end-of-curve power, which protects the motor against overload in off-design operation. Sitting in the technical context of a portuario cluster, Ceará-Mirim benefits from accumulated learning around bunker fuel oil (BPF), seawater for cooling and liquid bulk movement. FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Ceará-Mirim, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. In Ceará-Mirim, transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. Material selection for melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana in Ceará-Mirim considers AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. For sealing in Ceará-Mirim, single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment is a defensible starting point; final plan approval involves risk analysis of the specific fluid. Ceará-Mirim is served with a logistics lead time of 96h to 7 days for critical parts from Cabreúva-SP, subject to case-by-case optimization.
The demand profile in Ceará-Mirim reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. Ceará-Mirim ranks among the 10 largest cities in the state at relevant industrial scale — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. Typical seasonality of the portuario cluster (continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Ceará-Mirim. In Ceará-Mirim, value added is dominated by services (40.4%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 1.3 billion — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Fluid-roster complexity in Ceará-Mirim is high — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. In Ceará-Mirim, sucroalcooleiro accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. Ceará-Mirim, among the 10 most populous cities in RN, is a regional benchmark of economic activity, sustains a predictable B2B demand chain — an ideal profile for scheduled supply and multi-year replacement contracts. In Ceará-Mirim, engineered-to-order projects benefit from the FB combination: normalized baseline hydraulics + tailored customization (instrumentation, automation, special materials) with scope-defined lead time. In Ceará-Mirim, near a portuario cluster, applications such as bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. In Ceará-Mirim, melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). Ceará-Mirim shows cases like series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration.
2332 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Ceará-Mirim via BR-101 (via PB) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Ceará-Mirim logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual. Alternative routing to Ceará-Mirim can use BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. On projects for Ceará-Mirim, logistics may include multimodal consolidation — a relevant alternative for large equipment or tight deadlines. Logistics lead time to Ceará-Mirim is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The technical-service model in Ceará-Mirim is structured as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip.

Regional service from Ceará-Mirim — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
The local industrial profile concentrates demand on viscous fluid transfer — circulação de caldo e transferência de melaço em usinas. In these services, the FBE series delivers stable flow regardless of pressure and operates up to 350 °C with a heating jacket, covering from lubricating oils to asphalt and resins.
Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Ceará-Mirim, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.
In Ceará-Mirim, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Ceará-Mirim are scheduled.
For water, condensate and low-viscosity fluids, the recommendation is the FBCN standardized centrifugal — 53 models with bench-tested curves and back-pull-out maintenance, which frees the rotating assembly without dismantling the piping. The exact model comes from the circuit’s flow × head pair.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Ceará-Mirim is handled by our regular road operator.
