KLS Kelso Technologies Inc.

Kelso Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KLS)(OTCQX:KEOSF) reports that it has
recently received additional purchase orders for its external pressure relief
valves ("EPRV") in excess of US$ 1,000,000. These new orders bring our EPRV
product business for 2012 to exceed US$ 4,000,000.


Key to this business activity is that one of the four major tank car
manufacturers ("OEMs") has now designated Kelso's EPRV as recommended standard
equipment on a series of their railroad tank cars used primarily for ethanol and
crude oil transport. This initial OEM order of approximately US$900,000 begins
weekly delivery in April 2012. 


Numerous customers that transport hazardous commodities such as crude oil,
ethanol, petrochemicals and other toxic chemicals and OEMs are conducting
engineering assessments of our EPRV and Kelso Klincher(TM) ("KKS") manway
products. In the railroad industry there is now clear understanding and
recognition of the innovative performance and safety dynamics that our products
offer. Kelso continues to work on product adoption issues, production and
installation schedules for 2012 and 2013 with OEMs in order to meet customer
requirements. Additional adoption decisions in favor of our products by OEMs for
new tank car builds are expected in the near future. 


Neil Gambow, President and CEO of Kelso Technologies (USA), comments that, "It
is now apparent that the strengths of our EPRV products are being recognized by
the railroad OEMs and HAZMAT stakeholders. The momentum of adoption decisions
further validates the industry value of our EPRV as "best available technology"
recommended for adoption on railroad tank cars. We are very pleased by the
willingness the OEM to be the first to standardize our EPRV technologies in
their new tank car business."


About Kelso Technologies 

Kelso is an emerging railroad equipment supplier that produces and distributes
innovative technologies for the safe containment of all liquid materials
including hazardous materials ("HAZMAT") during transport. All EPRV and KKS
products are patented designs that reduce the risk of environmental harm due to
non-accidental release events in the transport of HAZMAT and improve employee
safety. 


Our new KKS provides a revolutionary change in the handling dynamics and
infrastructure of the HAZMAT industry. It is a major industry innovation and
addresses stringent environmental sensitivities and worker safety. Our KKS
program is being well supported by regulators, railroads, customers, industry
workers and emergency response organizations. 


Our main challenge to market penetration is that the railroad industry is very
slow to design or adopt new technologies. In many cases designs have not changed
in decades even though environmental and engineering problems challenge the
industry. This circumstance provides Kelso with a strong business opportunity to
deliver technology solutions that improve performance, provide cost benefits and
improve longevity. Our technology goal is to have our EPRV and KKS become the
"best available technology" standard on all applications that are specified by
rail tank car manufacturers, retrofitters and repair shops. The focus is to
build a successful multi-million business on behalf of the shareholders of Kelso
Technologies.
