Kelso Klincher(R) Advances to Commercial Distribution


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and DOWNERS GROVE, ILLINOIS--(Marketwired - July 7, 2015) - Kelso Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "Kelso") (TSX:KLS)(NYSE MKT:KIQ)

The Company is pleased to announce that it has completed its production infrastructure to produce our Kelso Klincher® Manway (KKM) and our proprietary loading rack adaptors at volume levels that can meet the supply demands of tank car producers (OEM), shippers and tank car owners.

For several years numerous shippers of hazardous materials have been assessing and developing adoption strategies for the KKM design which included loading rack logistics. The Company is now able to address all identified logistic concerns and service all customer needs and specifications to utilize the KKM. Several OEMs have successfully integrated the KKM design into their production processes. Going forward the KKM allows Kelso the prospect to triple its revenues per tank car on multi-equipment orders advancing the Company into the next level of its commercial business development.

Evidence of our developmental progress is that Kelso has received a multi-equipment OEM order for several unit train strings of rail tank cars for crude oil service totaling approximately one million dollars. The order includes the KKM, constant force pressure relief valve and loading rack adaptors. It is the first of several orders that are in process. The order commences delivery in the third quarter of 2015.

James R. Bond, CEO of the Company comments that, "Kelso continues to develop and market its KKM as a "best available safety technology" (BAST) design. It has demonstrated better non-accidental operational and economic benefits as well as potential rollover survivability that could provide more secure containment of hazardous materials in an accident event. The key feature is that the KKM has no time consuming eye-bolts that extend dangerously above the top of the manway. KKM is a unique proprietary one-bolt design with the bolt mounted horizontally below the top of the manway opening and therefore unlikely to shear off in a derailment. We believe that our KKM is a BAST design that over time will be adopted in much larger numbers with influence coming from government regulators, first responder organizations and shippers of hazardous materials."
