Kelso Technologies Inc.: Manway Assembly and Distribution Facility Planned for Bonham, Texas

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 29, 2011) - Kelso Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KLS) (the "Company") -

James R. Bond, CEO and President of the Company reports that the Company has formulated its assembly and distribution plans for its new Manway Securement System ("MSS") based on its market research and assessment of inputs from various key manufacturers, retrofit and repair shops servicing the railroad tank car, highway truck trailer and ISO tank industries.

The Company intends to establish a 40,000 to 50,000 square foot assembly facility in Bonham, Texas to produce the patented MSS units. The production target capacity will be 12,000 MSS units per year with a selling price range of approximately US$2,000 for truck MSS units that are lighter and cheaper to produce and up to US$6,500 per unit for rail tank cars based on custom design and high end material specifications.

The new Bonham facility will also include the capacity for assembly, test and certification of up to 4,000 valves per year. The Company wants to ensure that production capacity for both products can be scaled upward when necessary with limited additional investment. The key significance of Bonham is that it is within a 110 mile radius of its largest customers.

Mr. Neil Gambow, CEO and President of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Kelso Technologies (USA) Inc. comments that, "Our MSS is a breakout product opportunity and a key milestone in the business development of Kelso Technologies. Our patented MSS offers many new, innovative and unique advantages compared to current systems which have not been improved in decades. It addresses modern environmental sensitivities, human error, safety, product performance and cost benefits of ownership. We are currently pursuing some significant product marketing opportunities that are under development and we are hopeful of our participation in these projects."

The Company will concentrate all of its resources on the productive supply chain, assembly and distribution lines required to produce valve and MSS units in adequate numbers to satisfy customer demand. To do this, management has suspended its research and development of anti-corrosion coatings for the time being.

About Kelso Technologies

Kelso designs, engineers; produces; markets and distributes innovative proprietary products including constant force pressure relief valves and a new unique MSS that are designed to reduce the risk of environmental harm due to non-accidental events in the transportation of hazardous commodities via railroad tank cars in North America. Operations are based in Vancouver, Chicago and Bonham, Texas.

The Company's innovative "best of technology" products and production facilities now meet the demanding design, testing and production standards of the AAR. Kelso is now focused on the full scale commercial marketing and distribution of its proprietary technologies in 2011.

With the economic recovery in North America, the enforcement of US and Canadian environmental regulations for shippers of chemical commodities and the adverse effects of wear and tear on existing railroad fleets management expects that the railroad industry will rebound significantly. Management is confident that its reorganization in 2010 has laid the foundation from which to pursue a market made up of over 700 new tank-car builders, major chemical shippers, repair shops and retrofitters. This will allow the Company to grow its new MSS and pressure relief valve business successfully over the coming years. The Company will update, by way of news releases, progress reports in the future.
