Local context
From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 1466 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas reaches Salvador with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Salvador with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance — direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory, no intermediaries. The road network BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324, with BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Salvador. Through 24-km proximity to the automotive cluster of Simoes Filho, Salvador inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. The IBGE classification places Salvador in the Metropolitana de Salvador mesoregion — an area whose industrial profile directly influences demand for rotating equipment. For the dominant petroquímica sector in Salvador, FB Bombas offers the FBE series — FBE external gear pumps are ideal for transferring petroleum derivatives, CAP, asphalt and viscous products typical of the petrochemical industry. Typical specification: Flow up to 250 m³/h, Pressure up to 12 bar, Temperature up to 350°C. In Salvador, Petroquímica and Automobilística concentrate the largest share of demand for rotating equipment — a technical agenda well known to the FB application team, with proposals sized against the actual system curve. For pumping projects in Salvador, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316) and on-site commissioning support. The derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP, óleos pesados and óleos hidráulicos profile observed in Salvador maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS. FB Bombas pumps installed in Salvador, Bahia meet CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. In Salvador, Bahia, 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).
