Invented and developed in 1960 by Standard Oil Co. of California . The first breech-lock was put into operation in 1966.
Rights of technology remain with Chevron Research Company of California.
In 1982, ABB LUMMUS HEAT TRANSFER became a licensee for the worldwide marketing of high pressure Breech-Lock heat exchangers.
Since 1982 IMB was ABB LHT licensee and contributed to the further developement of the Breech-Lock internals design.
Over 600 Breech-Lock high pressure heat exchangers are in operation worldwide. Approximately 300 have been manufactured by IMB.
Finds applications in refinery units operating at high pressure and temperature with hydrogen rich streams such as Hydrocrackers.
