Kelso Technologies Inc. (TSX:KLS) (NYSE American:KIQ) (“Kelso” or the “Company”) reports that the Company has obtained the non-exclusive distribution rights to a proven line of proprietary fueling technologies known as Hydrau-Flo®.  The agreement covers the North American markets for a two year period with an option for one additional year.  Kelso will concentrate on railroad, military and marine applications. 

Hydrau-Flo® products are a suite of mechanical and non-pressurized fuel filling valves that provide safe handling and overfill protection for heavy equipment applications such as locomotives.  They offer a low cost solution that can improve fueling times up to 83% adding thousands of additional production hours to equipment fleets.  They are designed to prevent overfilling, fuel spillage, waste, fuel theft and remove the risk of tank ruptures from pressure build up during and after filling.  Hydrau-Flo® offers excellent wear resistance with proven increases in productivity.  It improves the economics of ownership by effectively addressing the key issues of longevity, capacity and efficiency of operations.

James R. Bond, CEO of the Company comments that: “Kelso is very pleased to expand our business enterprise through the distribution of Hydrau-Flo® fueling products.  This program represents a unique opportunity for Kelso to participate in fueling technology markets with proven innovative products for our railroad customers.  In our initial target market there are approximately 23,000 locomotives in service today.  As part of our market analysis over the past eight months we have successfully retrofitted a locomotive at a fueling center in approximately one hour and then fueled at high speed with no fuel leaks demonstrating a significant value proposition for railroad customers.  Hydrau-Flo® is also ideally suited for military, marine and other heavy equipment industries where management expects to generate additional multi-million dollar revenue streams for Kelso in the future.”
