Kelso (TSX VENTURE:KLS)(OTCQX:KEOSF) reports that the Company has accelerated
its production schedule for its Kelso Klincher(TM) ("KKS") manway system through
the lease of 14,000 sq. ft. of an existing 22,000 sq ft facility in Bonham,
Texas. The new location will come into use on or before April 1, 2012. Expansion
into an additional 8,000 sq ft has been pre-arranged with the landlord if
required.


With the addition of this new production area, we will utilize a combined total
of 20,000 sq. ft. of warehouse, assembly and distribution space dedicated to the
production of 100 to 200 KKS units per week (5,000 to 10,000 units per year).
This moves the KKS production strategy forward by 5 months in order to meet
earlier than expected demand from OEM and retrofit/repair customers.


Neil Gambow, President and CEO of Kelso Technologies (USA) Inc. comments, "The
market support for our KKS has grown rapidly especially in HAZMAT segments such
as crude oil and ethanol. Adoption strategies by major customers are maturing
and indicate that the demand for KKS will be sooner than originally anticipated.
Our strategic move to enhance production capability immediately should allow the
Company to capitalize on all market opportunities regarding our KKS."


The production facility previously announced to be built may or may not proceed.
The Company will announce production updates as they occur.


About Kelso Technologies

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


Our new KKS combined with our EPRV will broaden our product mix available to
customers. The new KKS provides a revolutionary change in the handling dynamics
and infrastructure of the HAZMAT industry. It is a major 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 ultimate goal is to have our EPRV and KKS become "gold standard" products on
all HAZMAT applications that are produced by rail tank car manufacturers,
retrofitters and repair shops. We are confident that we can build a successful
multi-million dollar business on behalf of the shareholders of Kelso
Technologies based on our patented technologies.
