Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in São Jerônimo, Rio Grande do Sul for local industry — head up to 135 m, temperature up to 260°C. ASME B73.1, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (870 km).


In São Jerônimo, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). Under the IBGE Metropolitana de Porto Alegre mesoregion grouping, São Jerônimo shares per-capita GDP, workforce profile and environmental-licensing patterns with adjacent cities — macroeconomic variables that reinforce predictability of local B2B demand. The BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-290 and BR-101 composes the freight mesh to São Jerônimo — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. FB Bombas maintains in São Jerônimo the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 610 + API 676 + ASME B73.1 — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, food, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. In São Jerônimo, Rio Grande do Sul, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI 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). Through 4-km proximity to the petrochemical cluster of Triunfo, São Jerônimo inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 870 km via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC), FB Bombas reaches São Jerônimo with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

FBCN sizing for the São Jerônimo 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. For óleos industriais and água industrial in São Jerônimo, the baseline is cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. In São Jerônimo, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. For São Jerônimo (870 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 72-96h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime.
The demand profile in São Jerônimo reflects low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume. A GDP of R$ 712 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (48.2% of value added in 2021) places São Jerônimo's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. São Jerônimo has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. In São Jerônimo, near a petroquimico cluster, applications such as cracking, hydrocarbon transfer, fractionation tower recirculation and oily-water pumping make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. São Jerônimo shows cases like series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration. In São Jerônimo, óleos industriais and água industrial form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller).
Cabreúva-SP → São Jerônimo via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) (870 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For São Jerônimo, 48-72h, with possible technical stop is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. For São Jerônimo, FB service follows the technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries.
FB engineers serve São Jerônimo 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 São Jerônimo — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in São Jerônimo, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in São Jerônimo, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
It does. FB Bombas' technical training program for operators and maintainers in São Jerônimo covers: characteristic-curve reading and sizing, cavitation identified via NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, vibration analyzed per ISO 10816 and preventive maintenance (PM) practice, including bearing and wear-ring replacement. Location and format are flexible — customer plant or the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.
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 São Jerônimo. 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.
It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.
Yes — the standard catalog is only the starting point. For special applications, FB Bombas engineers custom solutions: changes in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Before manufacturing, every special project is validated by engineering.
Who serves São Jerônimo is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, technical quotes returned within 24h and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to São Jerônimo are added to the plan.
