Kelso Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KLS)(OTCQX:KEOSF) (the "Company" or
"Kelso") - Kelso reports that the Company has received regulatory approval from
the Association of American Railroads (AAR) for its new heavy-duty, high
performance external pressure relief valve (EPRV) known as the JS75XH/27 that
was successfully tested by independent sources in August 2012. 


The AAR approval number for the JS75XH/27 is #079004. The JS75XH/27 is now fully
qualified to be commercially utilized in numerous heavy duty HAZMAT applications
that include the transport of crude oil and ethanol.


The Company has received its Class D (includes Class F) certification for our
EPRV and manway production facilities in Bonham, Texas from the AAR. Our AAR
Class D Registration covers the manufacture; quality control assurance; testing
and certification; and recondition, repair, retest of qualified tank car service
equipment.


The Bonham facility is dedicated to the assembly, testing and certification of
up to 400 EPRV per week on a single shift basis. Production capacity can be
scaled upward when required. The key significance of Bonham, TX is that it is
within a 150 mile radius of our largest customers. The first shipments of the
JS75XH/27 to OEM customers commences during the week of October 8, 2012.


Mr. Neil Gambow, CEO and President of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary
Kelso Technologies (USA) Inc. comments that, "The AAR certification of our
JS75XH/27 EPRV and our Bonham production facilities is another of the continuing
stream of key milestones in the business development of Kelso. This approval and
registration acknowledges that Kelso has a new qualified EPRV product and the
reliable quality assurance production systems that meets stringent AAR
requirements. This is a major step forward in our industry qualifications and
credibility. It allows us to pursue both small and large product sales
opportunities from the OEM and retrofit/repair segments of the railroad industry
with the full approval of the AAR."
