Local context
In Cubatão, São Paulo, 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). Under the IBGE Metropolitana de São Paulo mesoregion grouping, Cubatão shares per-capita GDP, workforce profile and environmental-licensing patterns with adjacent cities — macroeconomic variables that reinforce predictability of local B2B demand. In Cubatão, FB Bombas serves projects with in-house application engineering: system-curve analysis, NPSH balance (available vs required), series selection (FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI / FBFS) and API 682 sealing plan. Just 12 km separate Cubatão from the port cluster of Santos — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Petroquímica operations in Cubatão 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. Operations in petroquímica, siderurgia dominate the local production profile, defining the typical fluid catalogue and the FB series recommended for each application. The road network SP-300, SP-021, SP-330, BR-116 and BR-374, with SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Cubatão. The fluid roster in Cubatão (derivados de petróleo, asfalto CAP, óleos pesados and óleos lubrificantes de laminação) demands attention to viscosity, operating temperature and chemical compatibility — variables that FB application engineering uses to recommend the proper series. For Cubatão, 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 SP qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Cubatão 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. Cabreúva-SP → Cubatão (97 km via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book.
