Local context
In Canoas/RS, 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). Canoas is served by the BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-290 and BR-101 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. For pumping projects in Canoas, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316, Duplex 2205, Super Duplex 2507) and on-site commissioning support. Canoas sits 26 km from the pulp-and-paper cluster centered in Guaiba, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. FB Bombas serves Canoas with a complete aftermarket package — original spare parts, preventive maintenance, vibration troubleshooting (ISO 10816 analysis), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing and retrofit of global-manufacturer pumps on the ASME B73.1 baseplate. The derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP, óleos pesados and resíduos pesados profile observed in Canoas maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS. Canoas, alongside Esteio, Cachoeirinha and Sapucaia Do Sul, forms a network of industrial plants that historically share maintenance campaigns and qualified suppliers. Canoas has petroquímica and refino as its main industrial front — which directly shapes the pump type (gear, centrifugal, thermal-oil) with technical fit for each plant. For projects in Canoas 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. Petroquímica operations in Canoas map to 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. Certified characteristic curve covers Flow up to 250 m³/h, Pressure up to 12 bar, Temperature up to 350°C. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 837 km via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC), FB Bombas delivers to Canoas industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.
