VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and LISLE, ILLINOIS--(Marketwire - Nov. 20, 2012) - Kelso Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "Kelso") (TSX VENTURE:KLS)(OTCQX:KEOSF) -

The Company reports that it has added another 27,000 square feet to its existing leased production facility in Bonham, Texas bringing the total to 41,000 square feet of leased premise. Kelso will have a total of 47,000 square feet of space dedicated to the production of products for the supply of OEM, retrofit and repair customers.

Kelso continues to build its brand and business based on its ability to provide a reliable supply of proprietary, high-quality, high-performance products that improve safety, environmental protection and above average economic rewards for those that adopt our products. The expansion of our production facilities will ensure that we can handle the production logistics required to meet the rapidly growing demand for our products.

Kelso currently offers 34 products. In 2012 the Company has been the catalyst for innovative change in the railroad industry in the areas of containment and pressure management in the load/unload and transport of hazardous materials. Over the past six months customers have adopted several of our external pressure relief valve designs as "best available technologies" resulting in the acceleration of their adoption strategies and orders for these products.

In addition to current product offerings Kelso Innovative Solutions Inc., our wholly owned product development enterprise, has been working with key customers on new products to add to our catalogue. Our new manway is in the final engineering design stage with several OEM customers which, when completed, is expected to lead to commercial adoption in 2013.

James R. Bond, CEO, comments that, "Despite very challenging economic conditions during the year the many stakeholders of Kelso have shown the patience, dedication and support required to build a new business enterprise such as Kelso. We are very pleased with our progress to date and Kelso is now well positioned with the production and financial resources it needs for future economic success. We thank everyone for their contributions and continued support."
